Bart and Amy are such good managers, had issues with first room due to size but they easily accommodated. Then had issues with ac in 2nd room so they moved us to another, again no issue. They made it so easy to get situated. Had a great experience, definitely recommend

It's old. It's not polished, posh, newly renovated, etc. But this motel was perfect for my simple needs. Everything works, and I slept well. Given a choice, I prefer to patronize locally-owned businesses. Their price was right, and it was fine.

The room was huge and cozy. The man at the front desk that checked me in was so nice. My bully was with me and they were very accepting of pets. Located next to EVERYTHING. I recommend this place completely.

Older hotel with excellent staff and great location. If you're looking for something budget friendly this is the place! We had an emergency arise and needed to stop for the night and this place was more than accommodating!

The king bed was awesome after a long day's drive. Two windows to let in the cool clean mountain air, and a perfect tub for my pain-relieving soak. Plus no need to get on the car for dinner or breakfast. The dining room is a quick walk for American style food.

Very friendly staff. The room was stremly clean and comfortable, we asked for extra pillows the brought them to our room. Quiet, microwave and refrigerator. Shower was clean and has hand rails for disabled people like me. Veteran discounts also. My wife and I are very grateful for such outstanding customer service. I highly recommend this Motel to anyone.

The management was awesome. Bart and Amy were so nice. The motel definitely needs an upgrade, which I think their working on. The rooms were very clean for the condition.
