Don’t judge a book by its cover or a hotel when you first arrive. The owners have rehabbed this place into a cute hipster hotel. The room was cute, clean and the bathroom nice. I would stay here again. It is located across from a very good ice cream shop so be sure to enjoy some when here.

Dog friendly — if you like dogs a bark or two won’t bug you. Everyone was very respectful and no out of control dogs or barking. Beautifully kept, many amenities including laundry. Right off the highway but quiet like an oasis. Wonderful manager and hospitality.
