We absolutely loved our stay at Kelly’s View Motel! The rooms were super clean — you can tell they really care about the details. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, the kind of genuine hospitality you just don’t find at big name hotels anymore. The motel itself is cute, quaint, and has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. It had such a charming and cozy feel, we honestly didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a warm, personal experience!

We chose this property for the ratings were very high The lady at the front desk was very nice and accommodating. The first room we were in was at the end and extremely cold. It was a very cold night. She moved us to a middle room and it warmed up. But unfortunately it had a very old smell. It is very dated and needs a real overhaul. Flooring and paint would do wonders. For the price though it was what it was.

Very welcoming staff. We arrived at the motel late at night. She let us sleep in a little longer then check out time. After driving across Canada it was nice to be able to get some rest. I would stay there again.

Kelly's View Motel is a Must Stay!

Rooms are spotless, the beds are comfortable and the bedding is of great quality. It offers a cozy stay, wonderful view, friendly owners and a great central location. I have stayed multiple times for multiple nights and am never disappointed.
