It’s an old building, but vintage. Staff was AMAZING! So kind, very clean rooms. Bed was soooo comfortable. Next door to a couple of gas stations, across the street from a Dennys. Everything else was a short drive away. Good price, great service. A++

This is an older property. New A/C units at every room. Worked well in my room. Across the street is a Denny's Resto. Bed was comfortable. I wanted a motel so I could park my motorcycle in front of room, so it worked out well. Given current prices of hotels/motels, I suppose this was not bad at the given price point.

It looks a little rough on the outside, but the room is really comfortable. The bed is awesome, much better than you expect from a motel. Wifi works great. And the couple who run it are very sweet.

The motel is very old so could use a face lift. But it has everything you need and feels safe. Perfectly fine for a one nighter.

The staff was very courteous and the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. However, this motel is quite old and rundown, with peeling paint, especially on exterior buildings. It does not look pleasing from the outside. Also, being an older building, the rooms are a bit small for king size beds. Overall we had a nice stay, just did not expect the facility to be so old.

Exactly what it looks like

‘Vintage’ without trying too hard. No frills. Simple sleep and lodging. Loved the eclectic room furnishings and decor. This place is exactly what it looks like from the outside. A portal back to simpler times. Enjoy your stay.
