Room was clean, comfortable and spacious. This inn is a one level traditional motel, park directly in front of your door, very convenient. We didn't hear any noise from adjoining rooms, and is located away from busy roads, staff were friendly. The bath towels were small but for the cost of the room you can't really complain. I would stay here again.
