Very clean, quaint place to stay. There is an outdoor grilling area with picnic tables if you want to grill something. Also a fire pit area. The rooms are basic but very clean and well maintained. A microwave and refrigerator in each room. This is a family owned and operated motel. Very friendly and helpful.
