The stay was good. It is a 60s motel and just a few outlets. Not one in the bathroom. Other than that the setting outside watching the boats go by and a great view of the river.

The motel gives off a very retro vibe which is wonderful. The location is fantastic; our riverview room had a patio with two chairs and table with a terrific view of the river. There were several gas grills available for use. Our room was very clean but dated. The door was tricky to operate and the front window was cracked. Our patio door screen had to be removed as it was broken and had not been replaced yet. No matter, our stay was lovely, beds comfortable, room had micro and fridge. I did miss having a hair dryer. Oh well. I would stay again due to location.
