Charming, completely renovated motor court. Rooms are small but have been designed for maximum efficiency. Park right outside your door. Chairs to sit outside. Bedside tables come with great charging station. Delightful fire pit and picnic area. Easy check in and out. The on-site manager is so helpful. And the tiny Yorkie, Monty, is an added bonus as he welcomes you to the grab and go breakfast. Easy walk to a great speakeasy, Pheleonies, Horsefly brew pub and Jimmers barbecue. We were pleasantly surprised by it all.

The only problem we had was no one was at the front desk around 4 pm, indicated call the front desk which i did and the phone rang right in front of me and the mail box was full so you couldnt leave a message. I had to write a note and someone called me back and left our key in a lock box a short time later.
