A nice little motel for a great price. The rooms were on the smaller side but nicely upgraded. The manager was very pleasant and had a great overnight stay while visiting family in the area.

Mostly positive
Appreciated the pre-communication, texts. Good check in system (key lock boxes for late arrival). I had to be moved because of plumbing problem, into tiny single, but paid for double suite with amenities- no discount. No coffee pot or hairdryer. Room very clean, heat worked well.
