Very clean, quaint place to stay. There is an outdoor grilling area with picnic tables if you want to grill something. Also a fire pit area. The rooms are basic but very clean and well maintained. A microwave and refrigerator in each room. This is a family owned and operated motel. Very friendly and helpful.

They have updated an old strip motel & it looks good but the mattress was shot, low spot in the middle & tv wasn’t working. Asked manager about it & she said she had a Dr appointment but would get to it later, didn’t happen. In retrospect should have paid the difference & stayed at Best Western.
