Very beautiful rooms and super friendly staff. The only downside is the loud road and train. They do provide a sound machine and ear plugs which I really appreciated!!
This is a beautifully updated older property. Lovely touches and amenities. Spacious.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
This is the 1950s auto court updated with just the right modern amenities that sophisticated road ramblers require as the sine qua non of quality. The room is clean in the small details that matter. Everything is laid out immaculately. There's a pleasing, soothing air about the room. You feel wanted and welcomed.
Great place to stay after a long day of driving. Well equipped and comfortable. The street noise tapers off and wasn't an issue. Wish there were more windows and a view of something other than our car.
Beautiful interiors, outdoor chairs provided, excellent amenities inside each room, staff are lovely to deal with. Wish we stayed longer!

We’re not smokers. I understand it was raining when we arrived, but to have 3 people standing around the door to our room smoking was not the welcome we were looking for. Your rule sheet says 20 feet from the front of the motel, not 2 feet. We waited in our car until the smokers were done and left.
My family and i had a great 1 night stay at this motel. Self check in/out with electric locks on the doors. The room was clean. Parking right in front of our room. Sound proof was more than adequate but the staff provided ear plugs just in case as it sits on a busy road. The room had everything we needed- toiletries, fridge, microwave, chairs out front. Customer service was excellent, owners were very friendly and communicative. They accommodated a last minute late checkout. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
