Parking was convenient, staff awesomely friendly, room was clean, beds very comfortable. Location was near a turkey processing plant and the waste water treatment plant so the air had an acrid odor. The motel was good for a place to sleep but nothing more.

Check in/out was easy and the staff was extremely helpful. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that there was no breakfast in a small town without a breakfast restaurant. Otherwise, it was quite nice - comfy bed, quiet, and parking at door to my room. I will happily stay here if I'm in the area in the future.
