Pam

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Check in/out was easy and the staff was extremely helpful. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that there was no breakfast in a small town without a breakfast restaurant. Otherwise, it was quite nice - comfy bed, quiet, and parking at door to my room. I will happily stay here if I'm in the area in the future.

This is an older motel but it looks like it's been remodeled and it is very nice. The only drawback that I had was that I was the room closest to a pretty busy and noisy road.
