An older motel, but maintained with loving care. We always try to avoid the big chains and stay at the family owned motels, and this one was perfect, The owners were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Cute little inn

It was a nice old time inn. The room was spacious, TV had a lot of channels, there was a grass patch to take the dog out. The bathroom was a bit outdated but shower was hot and had good water pressure. Very good value for money.
