I loved this retro motel!! You can actually check in by driving through if you choose to which I thought was awesome. The stuff was super friendly, the room was very clean and the bathroom was updated which I love. It also had a large flatscreen TV. It was a great value, central location and the bed was comfortable too!!

Wonderful hotel—we always enjoy our stay! One thing that we have consistently noticed is the poor quality of the WiFi signal to the rooms—it’s often impossible to connect or even watch Netflix. Other than that, a wonderful place to stay in an beautiful location!

For agrab and go breakfast this was quite good. My only complaint would be that breakfast doesn't start until 8am. Most travelers are wanting to get underway before 8. I believe most hotels that serve a breakfast start at 7 or earlier.
