This is an old fashioned, wonderful motel. It is exactly what it advertizes--clean, spacious, and with excellent lights, bed and chairs and bathroom. We knew that it would not have TV and we were very happy to read our books in quiet, comfortable serene setting. If you are looking for a restful place to stay and that is what you want, this is the place for you. We highly recommend it.
Owner was kind, room was very clean, bed was so comfortable, river was just across the street to sit by, swim in, fish, etc. Perfect location, not too far from all the main tourist attractions, but far enough where it was peaceful and quiet. Would definitely stay again.
