Loved our overnight stay here! The rooms were clean and tidy, the bed was comfortable, the owner was delightful and I was able to bring my dog! I couldn’t ask for anything more. :)

Check in was easy, front desk was friendly and polite. Room was definitely not sound proof as I could hear the kids next door and woke to the sounds of car doors closing. Great price, very convenient location. Will stay again. Thanks

Friendly caretaker. Grounds were very tidy & clean. Our car was the only one out in the open, no shade. Our room was tucked right in a corner of other motel rooms, liked to have a seat for outside in the cool air. Everything in the room was tidy clean. Toaster microwave & kettle. Bowls utensils cups plates etc
