We had an excellent stay and couldn’t recommend this motel highly enough. The owners were absolutely lovely and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. The room was very tidy and well-presented, with everything we needed for our stay. We were in town for a softball tournament, so having access to a washing machine and dryer was a huge bonus — it made washing uniforms each day so easy. And the spa bath was amazing — such a treat after long days at the tournament! Thank you for a fantastic stay. We will definitely be back!
