The pricing is the best you're going to find within at least 15 miles. The rooms are nothing special but a clean comfortable place to sleep. No bugs at all. The owner is very nice a resonable man. All in all this I would call this an up and coming motel that is improving everyday.

The owner Jay is very kind as is his wife. Very reasonably priced. Jay has integrity... He cleans the room of a guy with no legs daily without complaint or charging extra. If I need a couple hours to get the money he is understanding and never makes me feel bad about it... He shovels the snow himself for the whole property. Hard working,kind, respectful man. I snuck my dog in the first week or so I was here and when he found out he simply asked that I take her out back to do her business... Wasn't mad... No extra charge... Since then I have been up front and honest with him (if I need extra time to pay or whatever) and everything has been more than exceptional.

Nice little spot for me and my girlfriend to spend the night and get back at the road the next day
