We were pleasantly surprised that this older property had clean and recently rennovated rooms. Beds were comfy, towels were thick. Down side was you could hear the neighbors and some road noise. But all and all a good stay for a,quick overnight on our way south.

Small motel, I believe about 10 rooms, which appear to have been recently updated. Tiki Bar on the grounds, which sits on the river, and the food is great (ask about the chocolate mousse pie). Checkin and checkout very smooth and easy, and everyone is very friendly. As a guest, we were able to fish off the dock. We have stayed twice now, and a great experience each time.
