Hidden gem

This is a hidden little gem. The owners have done a wonderful job keeping this vintage motel in top shape. This is definitely a go to for us. It is convenient to local attractions, the restaurant across the street is great and it is pet friendly. I highly recommend staying here.

I loved the cabin feel of this motel without the high price tag. The room overall was average, only con would be the shower water pressure for me. Staff were very kind and I will be staying here again if I happen to be passing through!

Thus was like finding a hidden gem! Our stay was nearing perfect. We found the hotel to be clean and well kept. The room was well supplied and the staff was efficient and very friendly. We stayed the weekend and all of our expectations were met and exceeded. This is an older property; however, it is well kept and very clean. Our stay was quiet we will definitely return in the future.
