8/10 Good

Fine for basic lodging being clean, comfortable, and mainly quiet in the rooms away from the road. Only real complaint was very lower water pressure in the shower, sink pressure was just fine.

Anna, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The property looks like an old motor court that has been renovated. It is on the old downtown Main Street. We would stay again and recommend it to friends.
Jenifer, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Small but bed comfortable. Good for a quick overnight. No frills. Close to road, early traffic but quiet after 10 pm.
Jeffrey, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great stay! The room was very clean!
Lauryn, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very clean with good amenities. If you have balance issues, be careful with the sloping floors as the building is newly and nicely renovated, but clearly a lot of settling of the foundation.
Suzanne, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Hotel has been updated, with good beds.
Dennis, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Felt like a flea bag no tell motel
Sharon, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

If you like the ambience of the 50s motor courts, this is perfect. Remodeled and very clean. No restaurant and it sits on the main busy road through town. This hotel says nostalgia!
Denise, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A old motor lodge that has been updated. The room was small but cozy and comfortable.
Theresa, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

The gentleman in the morning was so kind and polite. The check in was a little weird but ok just not used to that in a hotel.
Sheldon, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Perfect for a solo traveler. Any more than two people are uncomfortable. Noisy guests at all hours outside.
Ramon, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Newly remodeled property, fairly priced, with a very friendly staff member at the desk, and a cute, little dog. Recommended
