Stayed just one night unfortunately due to prior plans on our trip. If I ever get back this way, will place the lazy J high on my list of options for a motel.

Though the motel is an older building the family that owns it has done well at maintaining the property. There was a good choice of breakfast food and the staff were friendly.
