Fun retro motel

I have stayed here before, I like it. The retro rooms are fun, the breakfast was good, and staff was friendly and nice. I didn't use any of the amenities: pool table, foosball game, washer/dryer, red retro Galanz fridge, fireplace in the game room but I was impressed with the variety and condition of them.The only recommendation I would make is to take out the carpet in rooms and replace with tile or lino. Easier to keep clean.

Tons of things to do

This place is sooo cute! Room numbers range from 1950 to 1986 and each room has that year’s theme and decor. There are laundry facilities and a clubhouse with a pool table and foosball machine. Not to mention, the outdoor ground chess and ping pong table. Loved my stay!

Old school charm and hidden surprise!

This was a surprise! Clean. quiet, friendly service. Fridge and microwave in room. Old school charm with a great atmosphere that is well kept. AC worked great, room was ice cold, and the bed was very comfortable. Shower had great water pressure and tons of hot and cold water. Night Staff was very friendly and courteous. Breakfast had lots of selection and made to eat there or take with you. Definitely recommend this.
