Great retro motel! Great bar and lounge area. Very very friendly staff. Comfy room and bed. Downside was the walls are paper thin and I could hear people talking, walking around on the floor above me and people watching tv. Understandable because this an old motel, so if that doesn’t bother you it’s a great spot to stay. I would definitely stay here again.
