Old school motel - but renovated and super clean! Owners seem to live on site and were able to direct me to local dining and where I could safely walk my dogs… I even saw them out walking too - indicating the level of neighborhood safety! Though the hotel’s front is on a business street, there is a quiet neighborhood right behind it. Across the street you can find a great coffee shop/breakfast place and you’re super convenient to the historic downtown. This place is a rare gem of safety and cleanliness for a reasonable price! ##### Nichole Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary Apr 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clean, comfortable, safe, and convenient Second time staying here.
