Bed was a king but a little soft. We were on 2nd floor and elevator failed as we were ready to depart. Breakfast was well presented and tasty. Great restaurant in walking distance.

This motel is nicer than the other $100-$200/nite places I've stayed during this 5-week trip. Warm cookies at check-in, very nice room and beds, nicer complementary toiletries, and excellent selection of Breakfast items (including bread pudding and hand-made breakfast Burritos.) Would stay here again!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a nice hotel. The back of the property is on a bit of a ravine/field. So my room on the back was very quiet. The parking lot is shared with the restaurant next store, so when it is busy you may need to park farther away. The breakfast was very nice and they rotated 2 hot selections daily. While it is not the hotel's fault. It is a bit strange (and slightly scary) that, if you are heading north on the interstate, you have go past the property until you can make a u-turn then travel back south to enter the property.
