The front desk staff was very welcoming and helpful. The building is VERY old and in need it lots of attention, but in spite of age, rooms were clean, and beds were comfortable. The price makes it a great option for just one night on the road.
Older one story motel with clean room, exceptional quality of sheets, mattress, pillows, and towels for an older budget motel. Did not take advantage of the included breakfast but it had waffles, usual dry cereal, bread, plus some fruit, coffee, tea, etc.
I woke up the inn keeper after midnight needing a place to sleep on a cross country trip and she was so kind. Went in for breakfast the next morning (which had plenty of options) and she asked if I slept well and if I got the rest I needed for the next leg of my trip. My room wasn’t “perfect” but it was clean and comfortable. As a single woman traveling, I felt safe and secure enough to get a good nights rest. It’s not a “5 star” sort of place but I got 5 star treatment.
This is a great classic Inn - not on Route 66, but is like that -- Wonderful clerk, cookies in the lobby, and easy parking with a comfortable room.
A definite recommended stay.
