    “It was a perfect choice for grandparents bringing their grandchild. They've done a fantastic of fixing this old motel up! I like that they had a very thing on site! So you really don't have to leave the property. The pools, restaurant and bar were all very nice!”

  • Wonderful stay in a beautiful location with a great kids pool and restaurant despite dated rooms.

    “We stayed in the camper studio for a long weekend. It was a clean and comfortable room with plenty of space. Amenities were great. The pool was lovely and so were the spa services. The restaurant had great food options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Downtown is about a 15 min walk and even faster bike ride away. Loved being able to rent a bike at the front desk. All of the staff were so welcoming and friendly.”

  • Cute paint job didn’t make up for ants & noise

    “We stayed here because we saw it was dog friendly and looked great online. The paint and decor was cute and there were some amenities but the pros didn’t make up for the cons. We were really disappointed. There were ants in the room, stains on the carpet, and the food was wildly overpriced ($50 for an egg dish, fruit and coffee). The walls were thin and we woke up to our neighbors at 3am. The air conditioning didn’t really work so it was hot. We talked to them at checkout and, to their credit they did waive the pet fee, but weren’t overly helpful. Wouldn’t stay again.”

  • Would definitely stay again. Loved the staff and enjoyed every single corner here! Thank you!
