I decided to save money from my normal hotel per diem and selected this hotel based on the reviews. The owners live in front, so they obviously treat the property as their own home. The rooms are renovated, freshly painted, and updated, if on the small side. If I was a Motel person I would stay here again, however this was merely an experiment to see if I was comfortable with a Motel model. Unfortunately I am not. In the future I will pay a little more to stay at a hotel with hallways and interior room entrances.
