Clean, friendly, and homing.

It was an owner operated motel. The property was maintained like home, clean and orderly. The hospitality received from the receptionist (owner) made me felt like an old friend. Will go back in my next trip.

The gentleman at the front desk was very kind. The place was clean and a good value for stay. Just one criticism is the mattress was terrible. We couldn’t sleep well. It was really hard.
