I was quoted a price of all-in from Expedia but was charged a higher price upon checking in. What's up with that? I know it is a small amount, but I expect to pay the rate I originally booked.

I wasn’t expecting much from an older motel in small town. I was so wrong!!! This old retro motel is so cute! The rooms aren’t big and the breakfast isn’t much, but the whole place has been very well decorated in an retro style including an Adirondack chairs at each door, a nice outdoor grilling area and clean playground. Even the drive thru check in was easy, easy, easy. After checking in, head down to the Riverwalk on F Street. Wonderful stores including Ruby Blues - a secondhand, thrift store.

Motel is super cute and our room was the perfect size for two of us for one night on our road trip. Only a couple things would have made it better. The window really needs to have curtains that block out the sun. When you’re on vacation and drove for a long time, the last thing you want is to wake when the sun comes up. The room brightens up too much in the am. Would have been nice to have black out curtains to not be awaken at 0600. Also, the mattress is a bit too firm.

We loved our overnight stay at this property! Check in was super easy didn’t even have to get out of the car! The room was clean, comfortable bed. Great selection of snacks, juice and coffee for breakfast. I do wish there was deadbolt or chain lock on the door but other than that it was perfect! Highly recommend especially for the price!

It was okay okay stay, Old motel

Rate is not worth the stay, Rooms are very small and bathrooms are super tight, They have done good job to renovate interiors, best would be to remove the carpets because that smell after sometime hits you. Overall stay was okay okay, I will try something else, more modern and spacious in same buck.

Older motor court that has been extensively updated with modern plumbing fixtures, lighting, TV & floor coverings. '50s decor is enjoyable (for those of us old enough to remember it). Essentially a small basic room but pleasant, clean and with simple take-away breakfast items. Would certainly stay here again.
