Nice view from the balcony of the pool! My room was spacious and clean. I checked at the office, and was able to check-in early, as my room was ready. An extra perk is the Central Cafe and Bakery is on the property and serves excellent lunch and breakfast items.

Very happy with my 1 night stay - the staff was friendly and helpful, the room well appointed and very clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower hot! This family owned motel is older and tastefully updated. It sits right on the bike trail and is very convenient to the cute little downtown shops and park. I will recommend it and stay here again.
