A very cute and simple motel that is conveniently located away from the busy area but just across the street from the free trolley so it was easily accessible. The weekend breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly. We enjoyed sitting and watching the water off of our balcony and all of the fireflies in the evening.

We stayed for 4 nights. It’s an adorable motel in the river. The balcony with river view was the best in the morning. The breakfast cooked to order was absolutely top notch! There was a pool and it was very clean. The room was quiet and peaceful. Location was great also. Gave us that old school motel feel with an updated look. I would definitely stay again!
