Hidden Gem

Booked this motel the last minute based on reviews. Driving thru the area and needed a one night stay. Could not have been better!!! The young man checking us in was very helpful with restaurants and local information. 100% recommend and I have stayed in less than 1 star and 5 star plus hotels LOL
