This is your basic motel, which we wanted for a quick one night stay. Room was clean, great area. We did not take advantage of their breakfast, but they do offer one. Check in was super simple and staff was very friendly!

Our 5-day stay was great! The small breakfast place was a great meeting place in the morning where we met many wonderful people. We have a service dog and he was received wonderfully. It was just very small. We met some family there and the visiting area was limited but it worked. I would stay here again. It was good.

It was wonderful to be in a clean, retro space with comfy bed, tv and microwave and refrigerator. The price was great!!! Workers were polite. A choice of fruit at breakfast would have been nice. No butter for waffles?

Great price for being in a popular area for tourism. A true motel with parking in front of your door. Very clean! Includes hot continental breakfast with a few tables and chairs. We decided to grab and go back to our motel room to have breakfast.

Clean. Modest. Chose this property expecting an Amish owned and run hotel but it wasn’t. Also chose this hotel because it was pet friendly. But on arrival port allowed but $25 fee. $25 no unreasonable but didn’t like not knowing beforehand about it.
