It’s an old style home turned into motel, quite small but pretty clean. Friendly staff and good restaurant. The room doesn’t have good wiring/plugs in the right places and also only very small desk space for your laptop/ipad/phone, so you will need to find wall plugs at different place to do charging. Blind cannot come down fully due to air conditioning.

Nice Stay with Dinner.

Older motel room but clean and comfortable mattress and bedding. Unfortunatly, there was a heat wave and the floor air conditioner kicked on and off all night, so it was hard to stay asleep. The restaurant on site was very convenient with delicious food. The servers were excellent and very attentive.

I didnt fully read the description which included Motel and Dining Room. I admit I was disappointed to not be in the actual house. And, when i got to my room my disappointment vanished. Beautifully set out with lovely bedding, a wonderful bathroom with a full sized tub/shower, and air conditioning. The check-in staff helped me find an open restaurant to eat at, only a short walk away.
