My friend and I stayed here for a night during our motorcycle trip. This place is very close to the starting point of NE BDR, although we were not for BDR this time. The staff is very nice, and there was a good surprise for motorcycle riders. The room is surprisingly clean and blight! It looks typical motel from outside, but inside is very nice and clean. I will definitely stay here when we will try NE BDR. There is a Keurig coffee machine in the laundry room. There is a washer and a dryer. You need quarters to use them. There are a few restaurant in walkable distances.

Could not recommend this place enough!! We found it last minute when our original lodging fell through. Even though it was super late at night, Chloe got us into a room and was so kind! And Lynn the next morning was so helpful and accommodating!! We left our original motel because of bugs and it being dirty, and this place was so much better!! So clean and the location was much more convenient!

Love this place! Comfy room, AC works great, everything is very clean, cute spot. I love the corn hole setup out front. Really wished we could have stayed longer - staff is SUPER friendly. We came to visit our son who is working nearby at French Woods. Edit: back for a second year and the place is still awesome! I am consistently amazed by how friendly the entire staff is. Keep up the good work!
