The lady running the place was so so kind and helpful to me, I really appreciate that. She offered me dinner leftovers of her own from the communal kitchen and some things for breakfast. Super super friendly and genuine 🙌

“The Motel exceeded my expectations. An aged facility that has been brought back to life with tastefu”
The Motel exceeded my expectations. An aged facility that has been brought back to life with tasteful furnishings, new bathroom and all that you need. A new pool was a delight to enjoy after a long drive. Just great and I'd visit again.
