I was going to have a later check-in, Rob called to check on my drive and see how we were and how much longer it was going to be before we were there. He left a local map for us and spent time talking to us to make sure we knew where to go for dinner and had everything we needed. He went above and beyond to make sure our stay was fantastic! The rooms were cute, very well kept, and very clean. Wonderful place to stay!!

The resort is on nice grounds in a quiet area. However, it is badly in need of a paint job. The walls had weird holes everywhere. The room was very musty and had an odor that opening windows didn’t help. No maid service. No restaurant or breakfast. No coffee available until 9 am.

This is as named a retro motel with modern convenience. Motels are all the rage now so we thought we would try one. I'm glad we chose this one

For a motel stay, place was very clean and appeared recently updated. Onsite property also clean and kept up. Outdoor sitting area with fire pit. Friendly staff. Would stay there again if needed.
