The friendly, most recent managers of this privately operated mid-last-century motel have done an excellent job in bringing it back to respectability. Rooms have had basic updates and are spacious, tastefully furnished, feature minimal chintz and lack cheap shortcuts. Bedding, shower pressure and wi-fi all make the grade. Great rates make it worth checking out.
