This older motel is clean and comfortable. The rooms are away from the road, so it's quiet. Parking is directly in front of the room.

While the construction around the property may warn people off, don't be fooled. Very clean rooms, real mini-frig w/freezer, plenty of parking, anything you'd need in room and friendly staff.

Room clean, temp stayed warm, friendly staff. Wasn't sure where to go to check in as they have front of motel being rebuilt and fencing put up. Office is not near the back rows of rooms. Not their fault, though.

We had such a lovely stay at the Bluebird Motel. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, the rooms were spacious, spotless, and beautifully kept, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. It’s rare to find a place that feels this inviting—we truly appreciated the care that went into making our stay so enjoyable.

Restful night

It was just for one night to rest before traveling home the next after visiting family on Saturday. Very comfortable room with a microwave and refrigerator. I have stayed there before and would most definitely stay again.
