Good selection of breakfast no eggs except for hard boiled but still better than Hilton
With the horrible eggs lol
This is an old motor inn that means built for auto traffic before the big highways
It is immaculate clean ! Comfy
Plenty of hot water
Great heat and I guess air in warm months
If you pass it up for one of the big names you lose out
It is clean and adorable. We arrived later in the night and check in was easy after hours. Beds were comfortable and breakfast was great in the morning. This is my second time staying here and I would stay again.
Room was clean front desk lady was cute...what more could you ask for. 9/10

Room was very clean. Staff was exceptional. Really liked the layout and decor of the facility and room. The dog run was a bonus, as I travelled through with my dog.
We stayed 4 days. They didn't clean the room but I like my privacy. If I needed anything I would have just asked. Front desk super nice and helpful. Coffee was good. Bathroom had a timed heater! I would stay again!
Perfect place to stay while on our road trip. Clean rooms, updated nicely, fridge and microwave and a great price. Complimentary breakfast was a good start to our morning.
The room was incredibly clean! Bedding all seemed new! Breakfast options were pretty diverse. We enjoyed playing foosball and used the laundry facilities. The theme was super fun too! Would 100% recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was great and spotless, staff is always very nice,
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!

Liked: Cleanliness
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.
