It’s nice sometimes to stay somewhere where you check in with the owner, you can park your car right in front of your door, and you get a restaurant recommendation from someone who dines there. The Coachlight met all of our needs for a comfortable nights stay.

A Gem

Everything was perfect about this motel. The price was very reasonable and the owner was very pleasant. He went out of his way to make sure that we were comfortable and gave us plenty of suggestions for supper and sight seeing. Fresh coffee available in morning. Even called me to let me know that I had left the pillow behind.

Basic clean hotel. Not enough outlets and no heat. 50’s at night but shut the boiler off due to warmer days. Brought us a small space heater and that worked. Office was supposed to be open at 7 for coffee but wasn’t.
