I had a wonderful stay! The room was clean, and exactly what I needed. I have issues sleeping and the mattress was a bit to soft for me. Outside of that, the location was quite and close to all the fun I had. I would stay again.

I encountered the staff while I was sitting outside with family. The owner was personable and very nice. The room was older, the shower was very small and there was an occasional small bug that came in but it was comfortable for what I needed it for and for the amount of time I needed it.

Wonderful old fashioned motel!

This little motel was perfect for us! It's well-kept, clean, and comfortable. It had all the amenities (and more!) of a modern hotel room, but with a quaint, mid-century charm that we love! We will definitely stay again.

Staff was fine. Carpet was quite worn out. Bathroom had no exhaust fan and the window would not open. Has a kitchen which would be a plus for a longer stay. Best thing about it was the low price and quiet area.
