Excellent, personable young lady checked us in. She was quick, and informative. She provided dining suggestion that was one of the best we’ve had recently. She visited with me throughout the check-in process, I felt right at home. Room was clean, well stocked and comfortable. Not one complaint.

An incredible motorcycle museum! I found out about the place after seeing it on various tv shows, American Pickers, Chasing Classic Cars, and Jay Leno's Garage, included. Once you get inside, you really don't know how you are going to take it all in. It is huge! All of the motorcycles run and during our visit, the curator was starting and taking random bikes out for a spin. A must see!
