Awesome little spot. Even though it's right on the main drag through town, it was quiet. The staff is excellent. Got a good recommendation on a restaurant in town. I will stay here whenever I'm near here.

This place is a gem on a street lined with multiple chain hotels. I was curious about the "retro" theme, and I was not disappointed. Quite, clean, and unique are exactly what I wanted. I would stay again.

Exceptional property. They actually had protein and fiber, and other items that were not completely processed sugar. They did, however, still have plenty of sugary processed breakfast items as well. Even if was boiled eggs, inexpensive fruit, and plain oatmeal, it's nice to have a healthier option to start the day. The clubhouse was cute and cozy, and had a pool table and a newer PlayStation--I think, as anything beyond PS2 is new to me. There were also a few other games as well. The property felt spaceous with a few outdoor activities, and space to stretch out of you need a little space to cut the grass. The property was also conveniently located with a Walmart across the street and the main strip a short walk down the road. Dispensary and a late night Denny's across the street as well. The room has all the basic amenities, and decent ones at that. The towels were quality, and the short head was great for a warm soak after a cold day, though make sure you have the temperature adjusted before entering. Maybe I am at that age but I loved the retro feel of the place. I am big fan of old-fashioned motels and inn where you can pull the car right up to your room to unload. The nostalgia added not only to the ambiance, but also to the overall vibe of the property. A great spot for small group, couple or solo adventurers like myself. Oh, and a load of laundry was only $2.50, and my two full loads which included a blanket and jeans came out completely dry! Staff was great!
