This family run motel is so quaint. Our room offered two full queen beds and a kitchenette. It was spotless! I was pleasantly surprised how updated and modern our room was. The location was ideal and just a 3 min drive from our event. We would definitely stay here again!

Very comfortable rooms with nice beds. Extremely clean and had everything you’d need. The only thing that was a bit odd was the parking. Slightly tight spots and had to back onto the road to get out but I would absolutely stay here again.

In my past experience, motels are all the same, and usually a bit run down, but this motel was different. We were pleasantly surprised; the interior was updated, soft towels, comfortable higher quality pillows, and very cozy comforters. There was nice undercover seating where we visited with guests, and we felt very safe. I would highly recommend this lovely motel.
