Cleanest room ever ! Staff very helpful. Highly recommend. We were so pleased with this motel. This beats big hotels any day. Breakfast at ConCons a mile away was icing on the cake.

Second stay, same room. Still clean, great family running the place! Quiet neighborhood behind the hotel to walk my dogs. Best of all even though I’m in a pet room, my room DID NOT smell like dogs! Very affordable and safe choice that I will make again! Thanks, Cardinal!

10/10 Exceptional

The room was very nice. Very clean. Very modern. And I like the colors of the building. The only issue, and this is the case at many motels, is that the wall heater is very loud when it goes on and off. Actually, thinking about it, if it had a continuous fan option, that would help. I should have checked. Many motels lack the continuous fan option. Any, this is not a big deal. Importantly, very nice, modern, clean room. And it was quite with respect to noise from people. Nice place!
