Classic Motor Motel, but updated. Overall okay stay, but rooms are small and overpriced. No storage or drawers, so we had to live out of our suitcases. Evening Bar with live music was fun. Very pleasant staff, and hardworking.

Cute little “motel” with so much character and charm! Customer service was top notch! Had an issue with some food, not only did they take care of it, they asked our opinion on what they could do to make it better! Breakfast is a little lacking. Pool was too cold to use but the outside areas are lovely! Fire pits, cornhole games and lots of seating! Definitely would recommend to others!

Apparently our stay was a little too early in the season so they are not not offering breakfast. We also found a glob of hair on the shower wall. Otherwise wise the staff was nice & offered great local options & the room seemed clean otherwise.

Second time I've stayed and it's always clean and comfortable. They go the distance to make sure you have a nice, clean, thoughtful place to stay.
