This is the place to stay in this area.
Great little place. Exceptionally clean. You often don't know what you're going to get out of the smaller, Independent properties like this, but this is an A+ property.
You couldn't ask for better hospitality, comfort, or cleanliness.

This place is perfect. Quite clean and comfortable. If I ever happen to be in the area again I won't hesitate to stay here.
Literally easiest check-in experience I've ever had and the recliner by the ac was a welcome luxury after a long day of riding.

We usually stay in “name brand” motels, but thought we’d take a chance since the ratings were so good. The ratings were high because this place is wonderful. Extremely clean, very welcoming owner. Excellent stay.
