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.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Quite dated, weeks bed, but was decent for a little at that price. Would stay agin.

Excellent staff , breakfast, gave us a room with 3 nice comfy beds! I would give Lazy J excellent rating in all areas but it is an older motel. Although it seems well maintained , lots of parking…. We would stay here again!

The property was close to town, has safe parking and surprisingly quiet. It was easy check-in and the staff were helpful and friendly. The rooms are big and the beds are comfortable. The breakfast was ok. My only complaint is that the towels are old and were no longer white.

They were super accommodating and told us what was available and things to do im the area. The room was tidy and had everything we needed to he comfortable.
