Good ac we weren't too hot we slept well. Room was clean, beds were comfortable, bathroom was modern and stylish. Folks who run the place clearly put in care and attention to detail. Good location close to town but quiet and safe. No question would stay here again!

Awesome motor lodge perfect for a break from our road trip. Rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff is warm and welcoming. Continental breakfast in a cozy breakfast room. Train is close by but the motel itself is quiet and welcoming. We are repeat customers and will continue to stay here.
