Wish we had stayed there more nights! An extremely cheap motel to stay in - very popular and many were staying there. It felt safe and clean. The bathroom probably needs updating with some calcification on the edges but it was well maintained and clean overall. Free wifi was a blessing as the local cellular network was patchy for us. Great for families - we had one queen bed and two single beds. Met the owner or manager - she was very personable and extremely nice, you could tell she was proud of the place. We stayed on a Saturday so couldn’t experience their food - wish it had operated all 7 days! Thank you.
