Incredible place. Extremely charming and the owner David is great. Awesome place if you’re traveling with pets. His welcome treats are a nice touch. The rooms are decorated in such a beautiful nostalgic style. Can’t wait to get back there soon. Del’s Diner is a really short walk and had a great steak! Highly recommend staying at The Roadrunner Lodge.

Mostly okay…however leaving the porch lights on all night and shining through the window blinds was a bit unnerving as it was difficult to distinguish night from morning.
