This was the perfect small town motel. My room was super clean and included all sorts of amenities from clothing iron, portable stove, kettle, microwave, etc. There is a laundry onsite but you pay for the dryer and washer is free. There are cats who live on the property and they are all super friendly and cute! I was greeted by them all throughout my stay and it really added to the experience. 10/10 recommend!

This place was nice except for the staff. We never felt very welcome. We asked for milk once and were questioned about possibly drinking it. We stayed for 3 nights and never asked for anything else. We very rarely ever saw anyone in the office and the man that we spoke with was very brusque and unsmiling.

Spiders inside and no table and one chair. Only a desk with TV on it. My wife had to sit on the bed to eat her meals . It needs a bit of maintenance and outside our door was a little tunnel. Spiders everywhere in it.
