Stacy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Awesome stay, can't say enough good things about this Motel! It is located in the center of town with restaurants and local shops within walking distance. It is a mid-20th century roadside motel with period correct design elements. The rooms were the cleanest I have seen in a long time, small but very comfortable. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again on a return visit.
