Yes to AURA!!

Such a cute little place! Super accommodating, friendly staff. Ample parking, the rooms were large and clean and recently remodeled. The beds were comfy! 2 Kings in one room! Loved it. The grounds were nice as well. We were towing a trailer and had a place to put it. I'd stay there again and I'd recommend it to anyone. Also, just a short walk across the street to the mall, lots of food, etc... great location, right outside of downtown.

Conveniently located to downtown and shopping mall across the street. As an older person, I found the bed quite high to get into. Also, it would have been nice to have a chair to sit in that wasn't on wheels. But I enjoyed the stay.

Our family stayed in the nice place for a couple of nights, we booked two rooms. We are happy with the service! The room has everything you need for a comfortable stop on a road trip, we were pleased with the large bathroom. Convenient location of the motel, opposite there is a large shopping area with cafes and shops. Within a 5-minute drive there are several cafes for breakfast and dinner.

The service and staff was satisfactory. However, the rooms are not soundproof. If you are on the first floor, you will hear every footstep and voices from the 2nd floor. So if you are sensitive to noise, request the 2nd floor.
