Liked: Staff & service
The room was clean but had a musty and moldy smell especially in the bathroom. This is a truly a budget motel with a quirky style (Elvis upfront an all over the property and retro rotary phones) and fits the bill for a one night stay - don't expect anything beyond a clean bed and bathroom (with the aforementioned mould, not sure if that is a problem with all the rooms). Breakfast was the usual "continental" fare, but the staff are friendly and helpful.

The motel has a cool retro vibe, reminiscent of 1950’s motels. Our room was clean and comfortable. Each room seems to have an individual parking space right outside the room. Although we didn’t make use of it, the rec room seems like a cool space to hang out. The breakfast was good and convenient. We enjoyed our stay.

This hotel is a fun place to go. It is an updated 1950s drive in hotel. It has a lot of fun things to do like bench swings, corn hole games, giant chess game, retro phone booth, etc. The decor is retro. The breakfast had food to microwave and a decent selection. My picky wife even enjoyed it!
