The room was clean and comfortable. The gentleman at the front desk was friendly and helpful. The only down side is that we travel with our dog and there really isn't anywhere to walk him except the streets.

A simple but comfortable old school motel. Front desk was incredibly friendly, bed comfy, room clean and had all we needed. Nothing super fancy, but room was quiet enough at night for a good night sleep. It's nice that this type of motel is still around when chains seem to be taking over everywhere.
