The motel is conveniently located within walking distance to everything in town. The owner was very nice and helpful, even assisting me with carrying my two 28-inch suitcases up to the room — much appreciated! I loved waking up to the sound of birds chirping in the morning — so tranquil and serene. It’s a peaceful place to stay and very affordable. Highly recommended!
