"Beautiful town and nice little place to stay. Clean, quiet and simple. That said, there’s NO frills (it is Motel 6), no coffee in the room, no blow dryer, no hair care products, 2 tiny bars of soap and nothing else. The room and shower/tub were also super small (can’t fit more than 2 people) but the staff was professional and kind. I’d stay again! "

"It's a motel, so my expectations weren't high, but the room, bed, and bathroom were all clean and well cared for. The shower was one of the better ones I've used in a while: a welcome surprise after a long day. It had good blackout shades too. And it was right next to a 7/11, which was handy. A minor negative is that the freezer in the fridge wasn't working, but that probably won't bother most people."
