The room was extremely clean and wonderful! Everything was amazing and I felt like I was back in the 60s. Daniel at the front desk was incredible and went above and beyond.

Excellent staff! Friendly and gives great advice about what to do in town. Clean rooms. Breakfast was wonderful and quiet. A few things could probably be updated, couch in our room was a little old, but everything was still in good condition. I choose this place over and over again because I always know it will be a great stay. Lots of things to do within the hotel (mini golf, swimming, lounging outside).
