Clean and comfy room and we had the best rest ever. Owners are sweet and nice people. Highly recommend a stay here!
A Hidden Gem of Impeccable Care! We arrived late and were immediately impressed by how exceptionally clean our room was. It looked exactly like the online photos, but even better in person. The beds, with their beautiful dark cherry headboards, were incredibly comfortable and the linens were pristine and crisp. The green and pink walls gave the space a unique vintage charm that felt well-preserved and deeply cared for. The bathroom was spotless, with sparkling fixtures and perfectly white grout—a rare find! Every surface felt clean and fresh. The staff were warm and welcoming, adding to a truly wonderful experience. We will definitely be returning to this clean and charming home away from home. Highly recommended for an immaculate and cozy stay!
Decent price, nice clean room, small family friendly environment, enjoyed staying here for few days.
Nice place friendly people, clean reasonable rooms. Will say again if ever in the area
I stayed here for 7 years it is and I love the people that own it they are so special and kind
Can't complain the two weeks I stayed there were great.
Rooms were very clean and staff was nice. We will definitely stay here again when we are in town again.
Clean and reasonably priced. It is a bit dated but not bad.
I stayed here for a week years ago. The service was great and the room, wasn't much, but it was very affordable and clean
Owner was very very nice. Talked for a little bit and he had just bought the old motel and is in the process of remodeling so it isn't perfect but you can definitely tell they are trying to make it a nice place. The room we had was very clean, it had new furniture, brand new bedding, and brand new carpet. It did have a scent, but after the AC was on for a few minutes it was gone. Outside the flower beds were empty, but obviously in the process of being filled. New asphalt seal on the parking lot. More small things that the average person might not see. But it is definitely an old place. Only thing that was a bummer for us was it didn't have a coffee pot which isn't a necessity, but we asked and he said it's on his list of things to do. We were happy with our stay here and will be back!
