We really enjoyed our time here. What a great place to stay. A life sized chess board, game room and very affordable laundry facilities made it worth every penny! If we make it out this way again, this will be our first choice!

This place is is way cool. Very low key and local. If you are traveling with pets it is optimal for the price point. Staff excellent! Typical continental breakfast. Older, but CLEAN. Simply ask for a theme. We were in Marilyn Monroe room. Quirky and fun.
