No actual breakfast just a voucher for a sandwich next door. Room smelled horrible, window was broken, bathroom door wouldn’t close, lamp didn’t work, big water stain on the ceiling. Not worth the price

Renovated roadside property from the pre interstate days-this place had what we needed for a quick 24 hour stay: simple accommodations, clean rooms, pre-check in and a dog friendly property. Loved the kitschy rooms!

This was a lovely motel stay for a fall regatta. Property manager was available and attentive when we locked ourselves out! The rooms are newly renovated, clean, and cozy. Beds and pillows were very comfortable.

Our room was never cleaned otherwise it was a nice stay. Only 5 minutes from the track and the breakfas sandwich/coffee from a local deli was very nice. All things consider we would definitely stay again.

The room and bed are very clean. Keyless entry worked like a charm. The shower stall, however, is too small.

We very much appreciated the pet-friendly welcome. The room offered everything we needed and, although pretty basic, that's all we had looked for, so we were very happy, as it served our purposes perfectly.

The stay was overall good. The only negative aspect is that I had the room for 4 nights any it was never cleaned. Otherwise it was a good experience any the early check-in was nice.
