Very personable owner. He was very helpful also and you can tell he really cares about the comfort of his patrons. The room was clean and quiet. Nice amenities, all the comforts a traveler needs. Our bed was a tad stiff for us but we slept fine. Good food choices close by. All in all we would stay again.

I stopped by to get some information about a reservation for my relatives who are planning a trip to the area. I met Jessica and she was extremely helpful and kind! After speaking with her we have decided we will be staying there.

Very cute motel, quiet and comfortable. Stayed there one night while my daughter was moving from Lebanon. Pretty flowers outside, too.

Looking for a quick place to lay your head at night? Look no further. It’s not the nicest place but the bed is comfy, water and heat is hot and tv works. Would come back on trips.

Inexpensive, clean and friendly service, we enjoyed our trip and being in an affordable motel traveling through. They seem to be updating some rooms - the new bathroom with new tiles and fixtures were needed and appreciated. As they continue, these will make the rooms even more inviting.

Very cozy spot to stay for the total solar eclipse in August 2017. Clean and affordable between my two friends and me. We got the nice non smoking 2 queen room with the wood floor. We had an easy drive to Stayton and back for the Eclipse on Monday morning. Utterly breathtaking!

We stay here every year when going to the strawberry festival because the rates are good and the rooms are comfortable. The managers always make us feel at home and are so kind to us. After all these years were like family!

The rooms were clean and quiet, the shower head should probably be replaced.
