The rooms were spacious and clean, and we really appreciated the option to sit on the patio. However, the bathroom could use a little extra space. Overall, it was an excellent value for money, and we can't wait to return.

My stay at this vintage motel was a delightful experience. The rooms are exceptionally clean and spacious, and the location is perfect, just a short stroll from the historic district and the state park. The only downside is the somewhat outdated air conditioning system, which might not be to everyone's taste. Overall, it's a charming place full of character and history.
