“Value Lodge Motel offers basic accommodation that's easy to find right off the highway; the staff is helpful and quick to fix errors. For a budget stay, the clean, quiet rooms and pet-friendly policy are definite pluses, and the diner next door seals the deal with affordable breakfasts. I think this is a solid option for a no-frills stopover.”
