The hotel is a bit on the older side but well maintained . Onsite restaurant and Bar .The food is average and prices are a bit high .no microwaves in rooms(5.00 extra on request) but there is a shared microwave next to the pool.

Check in process is always effortless as staff is well trained. This retro vintage property is in amazing shape, which is no easy feat. This is my third time to stay here and it is a favorite for us as the property just has so much character, and having the world famous Waffle Spot on property for breakfast helps everyone's day start out great. Thanks again team for making our trip awesome and trouble free.

Great location and price. Older motel vibes but nice and clean. The rooms are not super sound proof, so a noise machine was great to block out all the noise from the pool and parking lot. Restaurants on site were excellent. Pool and hot tub were awesome. My only complaint is the bathroom was super small. Absolutely would stay again!
