This is an older motel that has been restored. Rooms and furniture are in excellent shape, seems to be freshly remodeled. Owners clean rooms everyday. Truly a hidden gem.

Fairly priced Very clean and newly renovated facility with a great staff. Very friendly and accommodating. They clean the rooms every day. They provide fresh clean towels daily! Along with the necessities if needed (I.e.) shampoo, conditioner, and toilet paper. Only downside is they do not have a laundry room on the premises. I highly recommend staying here and there are several restaurants and gas stations in walking distance along with a laundromat and grocery store.

Fantastic service. Really clean. Amazing. We stayed for three nights, my father and my stepmother, and we loved it. No complaints. The manager respects your room and is always available to help you. Amazing room for an incredible price. You won’t find a better price trust me.
