Great service

I will by no means call this a five star resort, however the staffs attentiveness and personality was excellent and for the price it was above expectations. I would suggest this for a 4 member family on a budget or a couple just looking for a place to lay their heads.

Very easy to check in. The bed was comfortable. It had way more then what we needed for our stay. It had a fridge, micorwave and stove and cookware. For the price it was well worth it. We will remember this place when we want to come back again.

We were here off-season, so there was no problem parking at all. It’s a vintage hotel and very charming, as were all of the staff we met. Plenty of places to eat nearby. Kitchen was nicely set up with all of the basics. Will definitely return whenever driving north to visit.

Cute motel

Cute "roadside" motel. Had a small kitchenette, outside seating and a nice pool. Rooms could use some updating, but it was clean and the staff was very nice.
