Didn’t eat breakfast there , room was clean and thank heaven for the new taller toilets !!👏👏 Parking was great .
While this is an older motel, it has been remodeled and well maintained, the room was very clean! Nice and safe neighborhood. Parking is great because you park right in front of your room. They had a nice variety of items for breakfast, including many hot items. We would definitely stay here again.
Parking right atbyour door. Friendly staff and easy acess to all the town has to offer. Clean room, heater worked(cold the night we stayed) and extra pillows were in the room. They did offer breakfast but we didn't try it. We had plans with other friends in town.
It’s a nice motel where you can park in front of your room. I was pleasantly surprised by daily maid service. (not common since COVID). I only ate breakfast one day. There were a variety of cereal, make your own Belgian waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage and biscuits and bread/bagels. Not fancy but delicious.
What a great place! Room was decorated beautifully, slept like a log on that wonderful mattress, so clean!!! Great breakfast & super warm & welcoming staff. Would love to come back & stay for a few days!
The room was clean and convenient. Breakfast was good, but did not remain in the dining area as there is not enough seating; very small area.
Parking was good; no issues.
Enjoyable stay overall.
We will stay here again.
