This motel was fabulous. We decided to escape the rain and our camper for the night. The room was cheerful and clean. The kitchenette was well stocked and we didn’t need any supplies from our camper. They even gave us a carton of milk for our hot chocolates. Washing laundry was free and the dryer was the standard 4$. We never heard a peep all night. Would definitely recommend this location!
