This motel was a great location to stay at for the night! The room was very clean and had some nice upgrades done to it. The owner was wonderful and personally walked up to our room to bring us an extra blanket for our kid. Karla was great at answering all our inquiries and was very smiley and happy. We would definitely stay at this location if we are ever back in the area!

Very clean room, modern bathroom. Fridge in room was a plus; A/C was a welcome relief from a draining days ride. Having my bike parked 2 steps from my door was awesome; so easy to unpack and repack. Nice little patio table and 2 chairs; facilitating relaxing as well as getting to meet other riders . Very grateful .

Not my first stay, and I returned. Price was reasonable, but everything else was awesome. Greeted by the chipper guy at the counter (sorry dude your name slips my mind). Who remembered me from last year! That gets your attention from the start. Super polite, courteous and professional. Room was clean, bedding was good and there was a firm and soft pillow choice. Made my short getaway that much better! Not a flashy place, but I'll be back!

Good location, decent room size, and clean sheets — which is always a big concern when staying at hotels. The view from our room was lovely, and the front desk staff were very helpful — we called for a few items, and they were delivered right away. Overall, a great experience and definitely recommend
