What a cute old motel with a new modern flair. VERY clean. (and I am very picky!!!!) The view was gorgeous! Nice big windows in the front and back of the room. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets were very soft. We only had one wash cloth and one makeup wash cloth in the room but they brought more to us. The bathroom door was quite squeaky and we brought that to the attention of housekeeping when we left. I'm guessing this will be addressed soon. The place looked like they have worked really hard to make this a nice place!! Nothing that would make me want to leave anything less than a five-star review. We stayed in the king room for one night. ##### Susan Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael Oct 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Sehr schönes geschmackvolles Motel in etwas einsamer Gegend. ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Wolfgang Sep 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Digitaler Check-in einfach und gut kommuniziert, aber uns zu unpersönlich.
