ASKED FOR A SMOKING ROOM
They told us one would be available the day after but we watched someone checkout of a smoking room as we pulled in. It was cold and rainy and they told us we couldn’t get into a smoking room.

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.

Definitely stay here!
Booked it 20 minutes before we arrived, and when we got there the owner/employee/whoever was just coming out of our room after leaving the key and receipt in there (unlocked, of course). He offered us more blankets and help setting up the pull-out couch. He was SO nice! And our room had 3 queens and a couch, so could have slept 8! My kids were all happy to have their own beds. And the price was CHEAP. It was so clean and comfortable that I wished we were staying longer! If we ever come to this area again we will for sure!
