The room had clearly been renovated recently and was comfortable and gorgeous. Both the room and the bathroom were spacious. Our TV didn't work, so the desk employee came to the room and fixed it right away. I would definitely stay here again.

I love this motel. It is renovated and very nice. It is a decent price and basically the only place in town so they probably could charge more. :) I have stayed here twice now and both times have had a wonderful experience.
