Booked this motel the last minute based on reviews. Driving thru the area and needed a one night stay. Could not have been better!!! The young man checking us in was very helpful with restaurants and local information. 100% recommend and I have stayed in less than 1 star and 5 star plus hotels LOL

Spacious room

This small lodge checked all of the boxes for me. The room was spacious and comfortable, had all of the appliances that I like to use. It was clean and updated. The staff was very friendly and helpful and easy to reach. It's a great location, quiet and safe. The free snacks and beverages felt like a sweet bonus.

Hame away from home

The managers were terrific. I love the details in the room like the linens, the pillows, the mattress and the coved ceiling. My favorite homey touch was the metal signs on the doors. Breakfast in the lobby was much appreciated.
