Lovely grounds
Comfortable, very clean older hotel. Awesome grounds, lots of plants and spaces to hang. Spent two nights —- first night woken after midnight by very noisy people in adjacent room. Luckily, they left with their loud cars and friends the next day. Otherwise, quiet, reasonably priced place.

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!
