Everything was great besides the bed. Woke up every 45 minutes or so because it wasnt the most comfortable. But the staff was super friendly and even stayed late for us. Its not a bad spot fir just 1 night.
It’s great when you can support an independent motel instead of the big chains. We enjoyed a clean comfortable shower and sleep in a comfortable very well kept little motel. The a/c was wonderful, cool, with a steady sound that never awakened me the way the ones at too many other hotels have on our cross country trip.
Small motel with only 12 rooms. Pleasant staff. Quiet. Some shopping across the street and a grocery store one block away. Small room, but good for the cost.

I wasn’t thrilled to find that the bathroom window wasn’t shut all the way when we arrived - it seemed to have been propped open by a stretch of toilet paper, strategically placed to where the window wouldn’t lock. If I weren’t neurotic about securing my hotel rooms, I wouldn’t have even noticed.
Room was clean enough, although dated. The AC worked well. The bed was super uncomfortable (old spring mattress) and I ended up taking the comforter off entirely because it was scratchy and unpleasant.
