Small but quality stay. They're planning a major remodel and updating it adding rooms I think this will take away from the uniqueness of this place that's been here for over 50 years

I like the check-in process. All handled over the phone. Very convenient. The room was clean but the bed was hard and the bed only had 2 sheets and 1 thin blanket. Also they have bright lights on outside the hotel all night and the light was coming in around the shade so did not have a good night's sleep. The room felt very minimalist too. 1 Chair,1 Desk and 1 small refrigerator. Only 1 night stand for 2 beds (a second night stand would be helpful) and 3 lamps. Another chair and another night stand would be more comparable to a standard hotel room. On the positive side the room and bathroom were clean and even though the hotel is near a highway it wasnt too noisy at night or in the morning. The hotel also felt safe.

Clean and decently comfortable. They didnt have laundry facilities but the staff pointed us to a place that was close. Pool closes super early, which bummed out my kid. Overall, decent place to stay for a night.

We were really happy with the check-in process, room and pool. Breakfast was simple but worked well for us (including our two toddlers). Everything was clean - not updated but well maintained. Beds were comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.
