Clean and relatively quiet place. It’s convenient to get to popular places, and just far enough off the main road so it’s quiet. They have live music on the weekend, which is cool!

The staff and service was excellent. The room had a great bed and was a nice set up for a more affordable motel option. It wasn't the most luxurious place, but I think for the price, this is a great option. The rooms are nice and more spacious than I was expecting. There was plenty of parking as well.
