Enjoyed staying at this historic motel. The beautiful lobby with all the actors photos were very interesting. Restaurant on site had great food. Next time i will request a room in the main building, as we stayed in the detached rooms next door at the main intersection and traffic was very noisy.

Property has been renovated and the rooms are great! Worked out great for our family. The history of the hotel is really interesting as well. My only complaint was the rooms were slightly dirty and there were some cobwebs. Note that the family suite does not have a microwave or bathtub (if you have little kids). Overall positive stay and I would return.
