No frills clean and cute spot
I was staying overnight in the area, decided to check out this sale. I was pleasantly surprised. I don't usually like motel style places, but it was a very clean, cute location. Definitely will consider again.

Eh..
Cute place. Old motel with some newer kitchy decor. Comfortable bed. Clean enough. Moldy smell and paper thin walls.

Very quiet setting in a beautiful area. Room had a musty closed up smell to it but it wasn't to overpowering. Very cute little place to stay. Traveled with my friend and we definitely stay here again.

I liked the fact we didn't have to sign in at the office. That was very convenient. Also, the area was very quiet.

Nice, clean, and quiet. Would have liked signage giving the check-in phone number. The number on website and Expedia is incorrect.

The retro decor was charming. Having our dog with us was wonderful. Negatives: website says "continental breakfast" - the lobby/office was not opened from when we arrived on Friday until we checked out on Sunday - no staff, no coffee and no coffee makers in the rooms. Also our microwave didn't work.

Self check in was a surprise but fine once we got email explaining it. Beds very comfortable; room clean and nice shower. Furnishings mixture of antique and modern.
