For a motel my partner and I had a pretty great experience! We were impressed by the nice and clean beds, kitchenette, and bathroom. We wish the water didn't smell like city water though, and the floors were swept but it seemed like they weren't mopped very well.

Unassuming property with quaint rooms and many amenities, including microwave, kitchen-style sink in room, fridge, DishTV, and even a hot plate and toaster! A pleasant surprise for the accommodation! Manager was very friendly and attentive, even walking guests to their rooms to ensure everything is proper when checking-in. Motel location is just outside of town, with access to various restaurants, grocery stores, and entertainment.
