"This little motel is adorable! Whoever did the designs in the rooms should come to my home! The rooms are stunningly updated with built-in cabinets, cool lighting, fridge and microwave station, lovely bathrooms with mermaid wallpaper and privacy drapes. Parking can be a bit tricky, but I’ve always found a spot. The employees are so friendly. Brittany is a happy lady who loves to laugh and share stories. They sell soda and water at the front desk, and are also happy to fill your ice bucket....
