Great for an overnight stay
This is an old motel that has remodeled rooms, economical and clean. Just right for a single night of rest. It's family owned and it's obvious they have tried to think of the little rings to make it comfy. No luxury just just a basic room. I love that it has wood floors. It feels cleaner than carpet.

Lovely Motel
This is a charming little motel just off the hwy. I had a room in the back, so it was really quiet and I did not hear any highway noise. It is all redone in the insides of the suite and very very clean. Don't let the outside discourage you. Owner was really nice. I will definitely stay at this motel again in the future.

Great location if you are just passing through and don’t need to hang out in town.
The rooms we had were very clean, comfortable beds and pillows and little seating areas on the grass in front of motel which was nice for
Evening socializing.
