The front staff were very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping was not. I found half-eaten food inside at the table, I had to ask for paper goods and towels from front office. Door locks were loose and I felt insecure leaving anything in the room.

Love it here! I’m so sad we’re only staying for one night. So charming and cute, everything is beautiful and fun, the rooms are huge, check in was a breeze, and our kids love the game room! We would stay here again in a heartbeat. This is such a great spot.

It was a nice stay in this Inn. Compared to other lodges/motels this one has a nice personal touch, much better price-performance ratio than others even though it can get a bit busy during breakfast time.

Loved the retro themed, the common outdoor area and breakfast options. The lock is the door was sticky. One lamp didn’t work-limited light inside. The bed was comfortable and the location from the highway was convenient. Shops and restaurants were close.

Bed was comfortable and climate control worked well. Room was clean and the rain shower head was very nice. Weatherstripping on door needed repair. Breakfast consisted of cereal, bagels, muffins, hard boiled eggs, yogurt and breakfast burritos.
