Perfect for our one night stay driving through. Staff was very friendly and a sit down breakfast was a nice treat.
It’s an older hotel, but everything was clean and updated. Would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic Free Breakfast
The hotel itself was clean and adequate. The free breakfast was served fresh and hot and made to order. It wasn’t a buffet as we expected. We’d definitely stay there again.

Fun stay
We booked the jacuzzi suite and really enjoyed the quirkiness of the room itself. The actual shower/bathtub was a little gross, dirty and the drain looked broken, but we really enjoyed the stay anyhow. The breakfast was fine, but the service there was a little slow. We would totally come back for another stay anyway. The check in was smooth and the guy was super friendly.

An older classic style motel in very good condition. The lobby/ gift shop was nice. The rooms were very nice, although the tub/shower could probably use an upgrade, but all worked well. The breakfast was good (made to order) but using real eggs would make it much better. Overall no serious complaints.
