I like vintage motels and this was a great one. Spacious room, recliner, comfortable bed, walked across a side street to a Mexican restaurant that had an awesome appetizer and margarita. Liked the small town atmosphere. It was a great experience!

Nice place to stay!

This hotel is nice, clean and quiet. Did not hear any outside or neighboring room noises. Rooms have a full refrigerator but no microwave, which didn't matter to us. I think I read there is a community microwave. Bed was also nice. The Lobby Ladies were amazing, very friendly and helpful with food and grocery locations.
