Not the easiest motel to find. My Garmin satnav couldn't locate 5024 Highway 78 (it is at least a couple of miles further out of town than the 4400 block). A local police officer could not figure out where it was either. But I was pleasantly surprised when eventually I did find it. The building is quite handsome, and the landscaping is invitingly immaculate.
A very steep $35 surcharge was levied to allow my 90+ pound dog to share my room. But the dog enjoyed exercising on the pleasant lawn.
The interior of my room was average for an older motel, but everything was clean and everything worked.
Highway 78 is heavily used as a truck route. In fact, a couple of tractors pulled in to spend the night shortly after my arrival. The problem is, many trucks keep on rolling by through the night; and the motel is close enough to the road that you get a hefty background of rumbling and grunting for your lullaby.
That noise level was, however, my only complaint about this Best Western Inn. I would stay there again.
