Worked well for vacationing with another couple in the Mill Creek campground, although cabins might have been better. Bike trail connection requires crossing street, but trail system is awesome.

The room was newly updated. Very nice and clean. Wish pillows where better and maybe another bench for luggage. Otherwise was cozy and comfortable.

After reading several reviews that said this motel was less than perfect, I now wonder if they were not about this great find. Everything here was perfect from room accommodations, staff and peacefulness away from the city. Our four day stay provided a very relaxing end to our summer travels.
