This is not a fancy spot. It is an old piece of property that has been very cleverly redone to make a clean and pleasant place to stay. It offers a very nice accommodation at a very reasonable price. It is excellent for what it is. It is also very close to downtown.

The hotel itself was decent, beds were comfortable, and it was quiet. My issue was the price! Over $250 a night with taxes which is absurd being a small town and an average place. I would stay here again if the price goes down, otherwise not worth it!

This was my second visit and it was still a fantastic stay. The Minecart is so unique and cute. It has all the necessities without all the fluff. The rooms are tastefully decorated and the beds are comfy. The woman at the front desk is always so friendly and attentive. The amenities are exactly what you need and the proximity to dining and the fairgrounds are convenient. I 100% recommend staying here and will definitely be returning.

Road noise is inevitable but having the air conditioning on helps. It's an excellent motel but it is a motel-- no hallways and your car is right outside your door. There's a great coffee shop a few minutes' walk from the motel and a restaurant next door. It's easy walking distance to the town.
