    All we wanted was a room so we didn't have to make a drive home from a wedding late at night. This was perfect! The price was extremely reasonable for the area. The whole motel was immaculate and the staff was so nice.

    In all my years, I have never had a motel call me the day of the booking and ask me if I am on the way and will I be here early because my room will be ready for us. Excellent communication...and the breakfast muffins were great!
