"A charming, old school motel that anyone who has spent vacations going on road trips will appreciate for its charm and the memories of road trips past it conjures up. Comfy with all of the typical amenities we are used to, with that unique touch that is absent when staying at a corporate chain motel."

"Fynn the manager went above and beyond to help us get situated and upgrade our room for no extra cost. The property was nice - very modern and obviously recent. My only minor complaint is their style choice to focus on appearance over functionality, but some people like that so not a real issue. I would stay there again."
