We loved this place, we went there to visit different places around it most of the time, but if you just want to stay there and enjoy the hotel and surroundings, that's also a great place for.

Reasonably good room. No facial tissues provided, no bathroom countertop space for personal items (I expect at least a 2ft by 3ft space). The rooom had a stale odor to it. Quiet for sleeping which is, for me at least, the most important room feature.

Even though this is an older and smaller motel, the rooms were super clean and the bed was very comfortable. Front desk checkin was easy and Ollie the dog is super friendly. I am always hesitant to stay in smaller motels but was not disappointed in my selection. I think you will find you won’t be either.
