"This is definitely an older motel that's showing it's age, but the rates are cheap and the owners are VERY polite and accommodating and the rooms are very clean. Normally I would be skeptical about an old "mom & pop" motel, but it really surprised me!

"Myself, with my 2 longtime best friends, stayed 3 nights at the home, from the 13th to the 16th. We visited the Fair, enjoyed some shopping and a lot of time together. The house is welcoming, the reservation process and communication with the owner were hassle-free and prompt. It was very clean, spacious, comfortable. The location was easily accessible and very quiet. I would recommend staying here, 3 separate bedrooms and bathrooms offer a great deal of privacy and space. "
