This is an old restored property with a cute retro theme. Rooms are loud from traffic, adjoining guests, and dogs barking. Air conditioner was loud, TV was unwatchable, room was not particularly clean. Staff was nice but cannot make up for the issues listed above.

Staff was lovely. We checked in and went to the room, it reaked of bleach. My wife is chemically sensitive. We couldn’t possibly stay there. No refund offered. Bummer. We stayed at the Hampton Inn across the street. :-(

Fun Motel With A Lot of Character

This place is in a great location and has a lot more to offer than your typical road-trip motel. The retro motif is a lot of fun and each room has a different theme (ours was Return of the Jedi). Theming aside, the rooms were spacious, clean, and equipped with refrigerator & microwave. There is also a fun common area with various activities (billiards, ping pong, PlayStation, etc). The breakfast had some unique microwave items (pancake-wrapped sausage on a stick) but got the job done. Front desk staff was great- friendly & helpful. Would love to stay here again.
