I've always been a fan of small motels and hotels and this was exactly what I was looking for. Easy to get around in a good location. The staff was awesome and having a coffee shop and a restaurant at the hotel was perfect. You gotta go check this out.

The room was clean and comfortable. Mostly quiet with the occasional talking from other guests. We have eaten at the cafe there and the food is good but today we went for breakfast but there was only one person working. Other tables were waiting for their order and other guests left. We did as well. I think people should get their coffee first so they have something then their breakfast can get to the table later. Maybe not the most ideal suggestion but staffing was a problem. There were 2 people at the desk but only one person in the cafe. It’s too bad that the guest discount will be discontinued January 1, 2026. We may come back to stay but eat elsewhere.

The room was what we expected. Staff was PHENOMENAL and what made the trip worth it. They were very helpful and ready to assist with any needs. Unfortunately, the pool was being serviced during the time here, but Kimberly was a problem solver and gave us options on where to go. I thought the lobby was really cool and retro with arcade games. Coffee was great as well. I would definitely recommend the stay.

Room was spotless, cafe was great, parking was easy. Wanted to stay non "big chain" for a night & glad we did. Had a suite, very spacious - only downside, no microwave in a big kitchenette.
