Wonderful customer service, 1st floor room availability with no questions asked. Clean, and quite well kept for an older independent motel. Requested extra pillows for my husband's legs along with towels. An employee immediately brought them to us. We'll stay here again and I'd recommend to check here before booking with any expensive chain hotel!

Don’t believe everything you see & read in google reviews. This hotel is very nice & calming. The front desk checked us in no time. My room was so amazing. Nice flat sceeen tv, heat works perfectly, the bed itself if so comfy. Room was very clean never seen a motel with top quality standards. I definitely recommend you to come try them out yourself. Don’t believe everything you read in google people lie for no reason.

The room I stayed in was nice enough; clean and orderly. Everything worked well. The service was good although I only dealt with them upon check in and check out.
