"Motel style outside boutique hotel room inside. So cute and clean. Really happy and would recommend to people. Staff sent a text with code to lock box . Easy check in. Definitely stay if you need a hotel in this area!"
Gina cedar
"Really nice little motel. Clearly well maintained and the Owner/Manager was very kind. Carried my bag to my room for me and made sure I was happy with the room. Area was quiet and the bed was comfortable."
Lori Miller
"Functional - not much to look at from the outside but it serves
the purpose. Rooms were clean and quite large. Price was reasonable. The hotel manager (Damien?) was wonderful - the guy was super helpful and polite. Every time we saw him he asked how everything was, did we need anything, told us he was available etc. Overall if I had to be in that area, I’d stay there again."
