Wonderful Stay!
We loved our stay here! This is a motel only by technical terms, but really just as nice as a hotel but with the added touch of some amazing customer service. This is a family owned and operated business and you really feel that warm touch but with the professionalism and care to details you see at a big chain hotel. We can’t speak more highly of this place and the owners! We would stay again!
