Great
Felt like I was in grandma's guest room. Very comfortable and home-like. Cute set up and very quiet except for the rooms going to 112-114. Doors are loud. No problems, even did a load of laundry. Thumbs up!

We were coming to town for a wedding and chose this hotel because of the reviews. Hearing that it is unique with a “Rt 66” retro-vibe and also a small business, I definitely wanted to check it out! My teen kids loved it! Homey, retro, a beautiful lake next door, reliable WiFi, and comfy beds. Thanks so much!
