Very happy with my 1 night stay - the staff was friendly and helpful, the room well appointed and very clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower hot! This family owned motel is older and tastefully updated. It sits right on the bike trail and is very convenient to the cute little downtown shops and park. I will recommend it and stay here again.
