I would not stay here again. The price was good and affordable. Buy beds were old and very worn. There were stains on the tile in the bathroom and a broken towel rack. When I checked out to leave I waited more than 20 mins after ringing their bell. I will not recommend this place to anyone. Please save your money and don’t go here.

Great place

Great overall stay. The air conditioner was noisy during the night, but that seems to be pretty normal at motels. The room was very clean and the beds comfortable. Very nice overall stay. Thank you.

We love the '70s' drive up motels. So much easier to have vehicle outside door. Quiet...clean. can walk to Blaum distillery next door and back. Room has everything for comfortable overnite stay. Also a kitchen available and laundry if so desired to use. Couple snack machines and fresh coffee ready in am! Wish there were more places like this;)

We chose the property because of the nice looking green area since we were bringing our dog. When we arrived, we were given a room that faced the parking lot and you had to walk all the way around to get to the green area. We asked to switch rooms but was told that since we booked online with Orbitz he wouldn’t help us. We checked out early and went elsewhere. Bed was horribly uncomfortable and no coffee anywhere-not even in the morning.

If you’d like to take a trip back to the easy traveling days of Motels, this is the place. I give it 4 stars because for their line of business it is very nice! Very friendly. Nostalgic. PLEASE….look at the pictures, they are accurate. Do not compare this to or expect a name brand monster. I love both and for my $, and my travel at this time, this was lovely.

I think I’ll find other accommodations next time…

The old owners are gone and new people own the property. The charm and loving feel is gone too. It’s loud now because they don’t skip rooms when they book people. So you hear everything in the next room. The loudest I’ve ever stayed in. The free wood in the back is gone. I used to love to come stay here but now I think I’ll find somewhere else. It’s now just like another motel 6. Which sucks because this place used to be cool. The black makeup towels are now bleached so they look horrible. No pride is taken and all the welcoming feeling that was once there is now gone. Sad.
