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.

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.

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.

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!

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