I'm not sure quite what to say about this motor lodge. The moment I drove across the bridge onto the property, I knew I was in for a treat. I have spent many nights out on the road, and I've stayed in some of the finest hotels in the United States. Never have I had such a pleasant experience as at the Heart of the Valley. The owner is just a delightful person. And Bela, the Lab/Sheppard mix, is such a sweet and adorable girl! I brought a bag of treats with me because I had heard about Bela. After I fed her some biscuits, she brought a rock to me and very calmly laid it down at my feet and insisted that I play fetch with her. Despite being an older pup and in poor health, unfortunately, she wanted to play. The next morning when I checked out, Bela recognized me and reacted as if we were lifelong friends who hadn't seen each other in years. So much to discuss about this motor lodge and how wonderful my short stay was. Immaculately clean rooms. Rustic, retro, and beautiful accomodations. Comfortable bed. Wonderful night's sleep. The perfect hostess. Bela the kind and gentle girl she is. I honestly don't remember ever experiencing anything quite like this stay. Thank you for making it such a meaningful and pleasant experience. Best wishes to Bela. I will see all of you on my trip back home.
