    I have stayed here on quite a few occasions and each time with my dog or dogs. The rooms never disappoint with bed comfort and cleanliness, staff also are friendly and welcoming even since the management change I have not noticed the any change in the motel at all. I had dinner at the Restaurant and again was very happy with my choice and that the restaurant is on site as it saves having to drive any further to get food.I wish the beds weren't so comfortable as it makes it hard getting up to hit the road in the morning hahaha

    I initially booked the motel because it was the cheapest available while I was in town for inductions. It far exceeded my expectations in cleanliness and comfort. The showers were good, the beds were comfortable and cleaned daily. The lady at the front desk on Wednesday that helped out with the parking was great. Super friendly, and an absolute cougar. 10/10 Hottie.
