A very nice place to stay! If your needing a comfortable, affordable and clean place to stay. Without all the frills and bills of a big name lobby. This place is for you! Staff is nice. I would stay again. The tubs are A+ as advertised.

My daughter & I enjoy our 3 day stay with my service dog. Sharon at the front desk was fantastic in helping me with all the reservations & needs to help me. The room was wonderful with a balcony to watch the sunsets, relax is truly the best name for here. We will be back it's not very often my daughter, myself & my service dog have a great service. God Bless

Although not technically a five star motel, I'm giving it 5*. It was like staying at my grandma's; things might be a little bit rundown, but it's neat and clean. The bed was excellent. The exterior was lovely with roses and hanging baskets in full bloom. It really felt like the owners took pride in their establishment which was refreshing. Our dog was also made to feel welcome and there was plenty of safe space for "walkies."

I have stayed around 10 times in last 3 or so years and stay here all the time and love the place. Reasonable, pretty clean, love the owners. Good coffee and breakfast. Just got back from another weekend there and had a few friends stay in room next to ours. Only thing is parking is a bit rough but doable and I bring a trailer and I won’t fit in parking lot. All in all they are wonderful and owners work very hard. Going back in November and so are our friends.

We loved finding this stop. Very pleasant stay. Beautiful property. Garden is well taken care. The rooms were cozy and clean. Front desk was very friendly. Hot tubs are an extra bonus. Definitely using this stop when driving back and forth for now on. We were really happy to see they even have two room suites. Thank you so much for the excellent hospitality!

Very nice little place, love the oversized jetted tub, room was very spacious and was easy to maneuver around furniture. Easy check in, fun little balcony also. Friendly and nice staff.it is next to I-5 and my partner said it was quiet and slept well. (I am deaf so can't tell ya about noise level.) Someone is cleaning great it was spotless and a great price.

This motel was a gem! Super clean! Tastefully decorated. Best mattress and pillows of our entire trip. The care and proliferation of the flowers outside should clue you in to the care of the inside. I don't normally take a chance on 1 star level motels (the system based on the amenities and cost) but this was nicer than many 3 stars I've stayed at. Definitely would stay here again and again!

We needed a good safe, quiet, clean place to stay with our service dogs, while our 5th wheel was being repaired. Total of 3 nights. Parking was a little tight "for me with my F-450 dully" but we got her done. Denny's not to far away. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. This place is a gem. We will be back if we are in the area for sure.
