After being put up in a flooded room by the Ramada Inn. I was in need of a room in very short notice. Tuesday being one of the busiest days here for booking it was a challenge. Owner had accommodations for 4 and was very understandable. Rooms are modernized and clean. Beds were freshly made before arrival and upon waking in the morning .. no bug bites. Awesome little motel would stay again. Price wise can't beat it here locally
