"The room was very clean but when you walk in there is a very musty smell. Probably because it is an old motel. Beds were very comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was very minimal, coffee, juice, granola bars, maybe something else but can’t remember. Overall it was a very good stay."

At breakfast, I simply asked the hostess whether something was gluten free. She replied yes, and then asked me if I had celiac. I replied yes, She said she had several different kinds of gluten free breads and muffins in the back kitchen that she would be glad to toast for me on a separate toaster. She even brought them to me at my table. This kind of service is above and beyond nowadays"
