In my past experience, motels are all the same, and usually a bit run down, but this motel was different. We were pleasantly surprised; the interior was updated, soft towels, comfortable higher quality pillows, and very cozy comforters. There was nice undercover seating where we visited with guests, and we felt very safe. I would highly recommend this lovely motel.

Only thing I would say to anyone that stays there more then 1 night make sure to call them to get cleaning service done. They don't just do it they need to be asked. But the place was a nice place to stay and we will be back there.
