This was a fantastic experience, the rooms were affordable, clean , quiet. I was at the Falcon's Flight disc golf tournament for labour day weekend, and we were thrilled by how perfect the room was.. the water pressure alone after a full day of walking was worth the price of admission.

This Motel is exactly as you are paying for. Yes it is an older motel. But my room was clean, the bed was comfortable. You can hear some noise, but I’ve stayed in plenty of locally owned, older motels, and it’s no different than any of the others. The mother and son at the front desk are lovely people. They are accommodating to my pets for the dog show weekend. Overall, I would stay here again. You make your experience what you want out of it. Don’t want an older motel, maybe find a fancier one. Very fair room for the pricing. Right off a main road, easy to access; and right next door to a restaurant, which I will be checking out tomorrow! Everyone who seemingly stays here longer term have been very friendly. And I even had a little visitor in the parking lot! I came here alone and feel very comfortable

Rooms were clean, price was nice as well. Good value for the money. Reception though was basically non existent. I had to leave my key upfront and leave it there after ringing the bell a few times. No one came up.

Good value for price, rooms were absolutely clean. Water pressure in shower was equivalent to Fire Hydrant. 10/10 service. Reception lady was incredibly humble and supportive.
