No actual breakfast just a voucher for a sandwich next door. Room smelled horrible, window was broken, bathroom door wouldn’t close, lamp didn’t work, big water stain on the ceiling. Not worth the price

Average At Best

A little bit disappointed given the high reviews on the place. Stains on some of the sheets and towels, shower floor was slightly stained with some dirt/grime. Bed was comfortable, though and great location.

For the price, we were not expecting an extreme budget motel. Functional? Somewhat. Comfortable? Not at all. We went somewhere else after we saw the room.

This was a lovely motel stay for a fall regatta. Property manager was available and attentive when we locked ourselves out! The rooms are newly renovated, clean, and cozy. Beds and pillows were very comfortable.

The property appears clean but is not that clean. The walls where the bed had splashes of something. The floor look clean but there were very dirty. Shower also had hair from previous occupant. Also towels looked grayish. It’s nice but they need better cleaning crew. Check in was easy and convenient and they gave coupon to a nice breakfast spot next door.

The room and bed are very clean. Keyless entry worked like a charm. The shower stall, however, is too small.

Renovated roadside property from the pre interstate days-this place had what we needed for a quick 24 hour stay: simple accommodations, clean rooms, pre-check in and a dog friendly property. Loved the kitschy rooms!
