The motel is right in the middle of town and was perfectly located for our needs. It was also very affordable. We knew we would arrive later in the evening and the office would not be staffed, so we were told beforehand how to get the key to our room which worked out very well. The room was spacious and had several amenities. The only suggestion I have is to update your bedding and mattresses. They were sufficient but worn.

We stayed in a comfortable upstairs room. The shower was good and the room neat and tidy, although the bed was rather soft for our tastes. Jack's cafe is a good place for breakfast and all the staff were friendly. The location on the main street is also convenient.
