As always, the front desk staff is great, the grounds and rooms are clean and well stocked with the essentials. Within walking to dining, pool, bikes to use, and putt-putt make your stay great. Breakfast is not fully stocked so if you are expecting a full meal, you will need to go out for this.

Stayed one night at this very charming motel. Renovated in retro style by the owners of nearby Mother Earth Brewery. It’s like an oasis in the middle of downtown complete with palm trees and sparkling pool. There’s also a full mini-golf course. We got the double suite and it was huge; over 1000 square feet. This motel is a destination in itself. Staff were amazing as well.
