Kevin and Tonya have created a very special motel. Kevin is on the local tourism board and knowledgeable about the area. Both are nice and welcoming. The rooms are clean and don't break the bank. Convenient location. They offer locally-roasted coffee in the morning or a nice selection of tea and have a nice partnership with a local restaurant nearby for breakfast (large portions and delicious). I stayed here on a work trip, but would come back with family. This place reminded me of why family run motels were so popular for a time.. and would be again if they were all run like this. I definitely encourage you to support this great locally-owned business.

This is an older facility that the owners are working hard to update. It was very comfortable and Tanya and Kevin were great to work with.

Allan, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Obvious that the management has put effort into making the area pleasant and welcoming. The managers were very friendly and welcoming. With that said, some basic maintenance issues should be addressed. Specifically that room doors seemed all to be in need of new locks and adjusting so they open & close properly. I did not feel comfortable with adequacy of the locks or ability to get out quickly in an emergency. Additionally the room was clean and appeared well maintained but had a definite musty smell that was noticeable.
