Retro motel on Route 66. Spotlessly clean and furnished for the theme. We liked that it was single storey and could park our car outside the door. Lovely location next to a lake. A few minutes drive into town with lots of dining options. Would happily stay again.

Two dead birds on the property. Noisy neighbors (other guests). Limited breakfast options (bananas, prepackaged pastries. That's it: not even coffee or tea).

Great place for the price
We had a pleasant check in with guidance for local restaurants. We took a walk around the lake nearby and enjoyed watching the geese. The room was spacious and the bed comfy.

Great
Felt like I was in grandma's guest room. Very comfortable and home-like. Cute set up and very quiet except for the rooms going to 112-114. Doors are loud. No problems, even did a load of laundry. Thumbs up!
