This is a great classic Inn - not on Route 66, but is like that -- Wonderful clerk, cookies in the lobby, and easy parking with a comfortable room.
A definite recommended stay.

Although the units are dated the place was spotless. The woman who helped us (the manager) was exceptional. There was an error (through Expedia) and she went above and beyond.
Plus the bed was so comfy!

Attentive Service
Everything was nice and clean, I got new towels every day. I definitely appreciated the air conditioning on the hot days. The bed wasn't the most comfortable. The employees were friendly and attentive.

Great customer service
Hotel was good for the price. Also, customer service was great! They also offer coffee and snacks. Good channels for live sports (specifically basketball) because it’s march madness lol
Just needed a place to crash for the night
Will return

I like old style motels where you can park in front of your room. My room was spacious, clean, comfortable, and the a/c worked well. I would stay here again without hesitation. Receptionist was very friendly and helpful also.

Older hotel, priced was good!
It’s an older hotel could use some maintenance and upgrades but the price is good! We only slept and showered as we were working all day it was perfect for us. The staff and owners were very pleasant. Coffee pots in the room was very pleased with that.
