The only drawback to this stay was the weak internet-I could not do some work that I needed to. The motel had an old fashioned feel to it but it had all the amenities and was lovely and quiet.
Madeleine

There was some lag between the booking on the site & its showing up in the motel's system, but it worked out.
The room was tidy. The bathroom was clean; there were a couple of Cheet-oh pieces on the floor.
The location is close to many businesses.

Have stayed here before on our “snowbird” travel. Is clean and office personnel friendly. Have small dog and had 2nd story room, a little hard on us older people and dog going out for midnight dog business. But overall nice place.

This a clean no frills roadside facility. It is directly next to a highway that is fairly busy/noisy until around midnight. The staff is friendly and helpful. The morning snack is not a breakfast with hot coffee and cold juice. The food is all package in small proportions, If you want a real breakfast go elsewhere (if you can find it)

Nice rooms but the office is only open 12 hrs. and there are no room microwaves to warm up food if you arrive or eat something you brought, after hours. The breakfast is junk food & cold cereal " milk available by request", what? So keeping those things in mind, its still a decent place.

We loved it here! Travelling with our teens - coming here felt like going on a sleepover at Grandma's house - in all the right ways. Cozy nostalgia - from the long carpet to the fake plant on a shelf, to the shiny bedspreads - it was quaint & comfortable and felt familiar and welcoming. Room was very spacious (we had the 3-queen room) and the shower was nice, beds were comfortable. Quiet area. Breakfast left much to be desired, but we made do. Would stay here again.

The rooms are clean and well kept. Unfortunately the walls and ceiling are very thin and I could hear everything the upstairs occupants were doing. I was only here for 1 night and the room was adequate and priced right for a quick stay.
