Nice little Motel
When we checked in Trevor gave the best introduction to the hotel and the town i have ever had. He explained where everything was what was good to see and gave us a map with sites highlighted. He and his wife Erica were on hand any time we needed anything. Location was great and the motel was very quite. Very friendly.
