May look a little rough from the outside but rooms are quaint and clean. Very comfortable for a longer stay. Basic breakfast offered for a hotel stay. Would stay again lf stopping in the area.

Very cozy and nice. The front desk (owner?) was great and proud of the place (and should be)! The room was nice; the breakfast was good. The town has pride, and I was impressed.

This motel feels like you are staying at Grandmas house. It’s not new and modern but it’s clean, has a comfortable bed, and has some beautiful rose beds and cute decor. The price is much better than any of the other hotels in the area. It also has breakfast!
