Nicely remodeled rooms. Friendly service. Special coffees, but unfortunately no tea. But we were able to get a hot water kettle from the desk. We very much appreciate the eco friendly soap and shampoo dispensers.

Great little motel that felt more like a hotel. It has been recently reno’d and is really well done. The beds were comfortable with several pillows to choose from. Everything felt clean and new. They should definitely be rated higher than a 2 star. Would definitely stay here again.
