Lovely little motel, wonderful owner/staff
The staff here were wonderful and friendly. Very helpful, even came and told us that we should bring our items in from outside that we were hanging to dry because a raccoon had been stealing items LOL. The bed was broken, but we were able to put the frame back together properly so it became a non-issue. We had a lovely stay, and my dog really enjoyed the property. I absolutely love the little picnic area and the presence of a barbecue for visitors

Hotel ratings might be 3 🌟 but definitely 🤔
No ice available 😢. 1st night of trip room was ok, not great.
Return trip room room was in much better condition. Overall it is what it is but would seriously consider staying elsewhere if making trip down there in the future 😉

A clean bed for a night.
Nothing special but that’s probably why it’s so cheap. The bed was so noisy that every time either of us rolled over we woke the other one. We also had to physically turn the TV on and off. Very clean but the baseboard heater didn’t work.

It is a clean and basic travel motel. Located on main sideroad, in a very quiet location. Nothing fancy put a real clean and quite place for a traveler to get a great night's sleep. And the rates are great.
