Many reviews mention bedbugs, but my group had 3 rooms which were clean and bug free. They are obviously making efforts to bring the quality of the property up, and the renovations are done reasonably well. The AC in my room didnt work at first, the front desk apologized profusely and would have given me another room if they weren't full. They sent maintenance over within 10 minutes at 930pm with a fan and to look at the AC. The maintenance man was very polite and friendly. The bathroom was clean and well overhauled recently. Fridge and microwave in room. I would stay here again!

What a great find! I only spent one night but will definitely be back. Great location, could walk to everything in town and lots of good places to eat close by. Loved the staff especially Miles at check in and out; what a lovely guy and had local recommendations that were spot on. Great 1960's motel, enjoyed walking around the grounds and sitting amid the trees looking at the views. My room was comfortable and spacious. Good to have a fridge and a microwave, a table and chairs at the picture window. My bed was so comfortable and the shower had plenty hot water. Yes, this is an older property that the new owners are trying their best to update. It was built in the 1960's and so some features are outdated. But it's such a lovely property, I'm so glad I found it.

This place is so cute! There's even a little art gallery hall! It's also within walking distance of downtown, so that was a major plus. The owner greeted us quickly and kindly, and he gave us room 119, which has an awesome little story behind it The room itself is a corner spot, with two windows, a massive bathroom, and a little patio. And it was so clean! When we checked out, Sheryl, the director of sales, was so great. 10/10 will stay here again!

Had a great experience here. Good location, beautiful historic property, lots of personality and amenities. Stayed in one of their newly renovated rooms-- plenty of space for four adults with lots if gear. Also maybe the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, wanted to take it home with me. Didn't try to hot tub but another in our group said it was fantastic. Management was extremely friendly and accommodating. Excited to see some of their upcoming changes planned-- will definitely be back!

Honestly, this place is actually pretty great, wasn't expecting it! The price to have dogs in your room is unbeatable (the price for humans is pretty great too), and I've travelled a lot so I know how difficult it is. The staff is really friendly and kind. There's basically a small park within the complex, which is again perfect for the dogs. It's a really cute spot. Yeah, nothing but good things to say here!

We had a quick stay here while traveling!! It was very affordable which was why we chose it!! But being greeted by the sweetest woman( wish I remembered her name) was one reason we will be back! Clean and quiet! Beds very comfortable! Not a very fancy modern place but I imagine you wouldn’t stay here if that’s what you were looking for! The man who was at the desk at checkout was just as kind as the woman!!! I will definitely be back and I highly recommend for a reasonably priced and clean place to stay! The rooms were adorable as well!!!

Had a relaxing stay, enjoyed walking the grounds. The room was clean and decorated cute. Didn't have any $300 hold on my credit card, my dog was welcome for a reasonable fee and the front desk guy was friendly and warm and personable. The art gallery is worth a look. Only downside was a bit of noise at night, just noise transfer probably made worse by tile floors but other than that I enjoyed my visit and I would stay again.

Stayed,one night in mid-September, 2021. A great place to stay! Clean, roomy & decor was beautiful as it was recently redone. Our TV made odd noises when changing the channel but that's the only negative. Staff was welcoming and kind. It was a wonderful quiet night's rest. Met the owner in the morning and he was really nice. We'd like to return one day soon and stay longer.
