This is a reasonably priced basic motel so it doesn’t have a lot of amenities but it does have a well cared for property and is a very clean and comfortable place to spend the night. It was a good place to take our dog with a nice large backyard area. We enjoyed the quick check-in and checkout arrangement which didn’t need in person staff although they were available by phone. Our room didn’t seem to have air conditioning but the evening was cool enough to have windows open. We stayed there last week one night and we were pleased to go back again for another night on our way back home. We would be happy to stay there again.

This small very reasonably priced motel was given mostly excellent reviews and was listed as pet friendly and we were traveling with a dog. We were excited to see that they also didn’t require an extra payment for our dog so we decided to give it a try. We were really pleased that it lived up to the positive reviews. It is very well cared for, tastefully decorated with nice towels and comfortable beds. Although the rooms are not large they were fine for our needs. They have a nice large area behind the motel and away from the highway for dogs to get some exercise and care for their needs. The motel is right long the main highway and there is some traffic noise but we did not find that to be a problem for us. We slept very well. There were fewer amenities such as no boxed tissues, and only dry creamer in the bedroom and they noted that toothbrushes and toothpaste were not available but those things were not issues for us. Although we prefer to have someone in the office to great us, they have a very good system for checking in and are available by phone to answer questions and help with needs. We would we happy to stay there again especially if we were traveling with our dog.

Bathroom has no shelves or hook to put essential. The shower is "tiny" hard to clean up! The room is suppose to fit 4 people but it is too small to accommodate 4. There was a hook to put jacket but pegs are missing except for 1. Bed was comfortable.

Quintessential Roadside Motel

Cute little roadside motel. I liked that prior to arrival i received a text message with the door code as they do virtual management and you dont check in at an office. The room was very small, but good for just my husband and i. The room was impeccably clean. Only complaint was the mattress was very firm and the AC didnt keep up, but other than that it was great!

Absolutely loved it. It's a very small and quaint place. The room was clean & they offered a very nice variety of snacks and coffee/tea for guests. Furnishings and decor in my room was dated but in good condition and clean. It gives cabin vibes. There is also a nice trail for guests to walk located behind the building. I would definitely stay there again!
