I was pleasantly surprised by this motel. I pulled in late last night hoping for a restful sleep. The staff member was professional and courteous. She got me checked in quickly, gave me my keycard and the wi-fi information and I was good to go. The room was large and comfortable. I made good use of the microwave after my hot shower. Thank you guys for a great stay!

I recently had the pleasure of staying here and I had a great time. The rooms are huge with good sized tvs, laminate flooring, and queen sized beds. It is obvious that they really care about their customers. The room has all the necessities, including a shower, a microwave, and a mini fridge. There is even a little area where you could set up a coffee maker if you travel with one as I do. It was a great stay at a great price. I will be back!
