Our room was fine, except the TV didn't work. The maintenance man, Bubu, was able to fix it after changing some of the equipment. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. We like the outdoor patio area and the dog run. All in all, very satisfied, we will return.

I liked the gardens they had. I liked that it was a bit set off from the street, and the back rooms were quiet. Their price compared to other close was excellent. For fisherman, i liked the area to clean fish, and an outdoor shower after a long day of fishing. I liked their 'continental breakfast', to get juice, cereal, fruit, and coffee as complimentary.

The gazebo with the lights on it was festive and a nice place to sit at night and is probably beautiful in Spring and Summer when the roses are in bloom. The first room I was given had an overflowing toilet, the plunger and towels to absorb water were still in the bathroom, so I think there was no communication between maintenance and front desk. The next room was "clean", but there was food in the fridge from previous guest, and a drawer full of food, so I don't think housekeeping thoroughly cleans between guests. Both the fridge and microwave were in need of cleaning and disinfecting. Made me think maybe the room was "cleaned" but not really disinfected. Will never stay here again. Front desk did say they were "sorry I had to see that" to the toilet issue.

Go for character!

Super cute vintage motel that has been updated. So much more character than the box hotels. The garden was lovely.

We were only there for a night on our long road trip home, but we had a great stay— it was quiet, clean, comfortable, and the perfect spot to rest for the night with our newborn baby and elderly dog. We’ll definitely be back for a longer stay in the future. Thank you!

Good location. Fairly priced. Poor housekeeping. Trash not taken out. Bed not made and room not cleaned. Very small breakfast area resulting in congestion around food area. Too noisy in breakfast area.
