Wonderful Stay!
We loved our stay here! This is a motel only by technical terms, but really just as nice as a hotel but with the added touch of some amazing customer service. This is a family owned and operated business and you really feel that warm touch but with the professionalism and care to details you see at a big chain hotel. We can’t speak more highly of this place and the owners! We would stay again!

Definitely a great choice!
Very impressed with everything about our stay. Great communication and nothing was a problem. We had a trailer on our vehicle and off street parking was available. Super clean and comfortable.
Shower was amazing, loved the pressure.
Good heating and comfy bed.
We will definitely be back and would recommend.
