"Restaurant food is good, standard fare but served with a smile and a great attitude that makes is fabulous. Beds are probably as old as the motel itself. Creeky and loud. My husband slept well so that's a plus. Dog friendly and really affordable. Walking distance of a lot of stuff"

"Best breakfast I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The chicken fried steak and gravy was absolutely delicious, eggs done the way I wanted, and fast service. We also tried the fish ‘n chips and tater tots, fried to perfection and juicy fish. I recommend this place with ten stars if I could."
