I encountered the staff while I was sitting outside with family. The owner was personable and very nice. The room was older, the shower was very small and there was an occasional small bug that came in but it was comfortable for what I needed it for and for the amount of time I needed it.

Staff was fine. Carpet was quite worn out. Bathroom had no exhaust fan and the window would not open. Has a kitchen which would be a plus for a longer stay. Best thing about it was the low price and quiet area.

Wonderful old fashioned motel!

This little motel was perfect for us! It's well-kept, clean, and comfortable. It had all the amenities (and more!) of a modern hotel room, but with a quaint, mid-century charm that we love! We will definitely stay again.
