The owners were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast offering was very good, many choices and ample amounts. For a small independent motel it was way better than many of the chains! Would definitely stay there again.
Hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were pleasant and friendly. The rating would be higher if there weren’t construction on the main road in front of the hotel and limited parking. I assume this will change when construction is finished.

Staff was friendly. Coffee was very good. I happen to like oatmeal, but if you don’t you would be out of luck that day.

Rooms are clean,friendly staff and super hot water to shower.
Due to no control of motel, new highway construction out front made it a bit of a squeeze and new construction next door also added to noise. Staff was most excellent, very friendly and accommodating. Older motel yet served our needs.
