We came in late for a long day of travel. Our room qas quiet, exceptionally clean, and i am picky trust me, beds were new but too soft for my back. My family slept like babies, and i did too o ce i fell asleep. Check in was a breeze! Lobby and grounds were very clean and inviting for a small western town!

The motel room was very clean. If you are looking for an upscale motel this is not for you. If you want comfortable, affordable and clean this is a great place. The lobby is open from 4 pm to 11pm nothing fancy just friendly staff.

Room very, very clean and a comfy bed. Only thing I wished they had that would have made the room more convenient was a night stand that could have kept things more convenient. Also had a bit of a chemical type smell that wasn’t the best. The room was excellent in cleanliness.

This is the place to stay in this area.

Great little place. Exceptionally clean. You often don't know what you're going to get out of the smaller, Independent properties like this, but this is an A+ property. You couldn't ask for better hospitality, comfort, or cleanliness.
