The hotel is conveniently located with friendly staff and comfortable rooms. While the vintage vibe adds character, some updates would enhance the overall experience. The service stands out with a personal touch, thanks to the on-site owners. The location offers a small-town charm with amenities within walking distance, although the dining options could use some improvement.

The hotel offers spacious rooms that may need updating, but the furniture is in good shape. The cleanliness is satisfactory, and the vintage 1960’s style adds charm. The service provided by Mike and Kirti, the on-site owners, is top-notch and eager to please. The location is ideal with everything within walking distance, while the dining experience offers homemade options. However, some packaged items could be more hygienic than average.

The hotel is a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are basic and cheap, but decently priced. They might need a bit of updating, being vintage 1960's style, yet the furniture is in good shape. The service is excellent, especially with the on-site owners Mike and Kirti always going the extra mile to please. The location is ideal for those needing a place to stop, but it's not very exciting, surrounded mainly by gas stations and expensive chain hotels. The dining experience is average with some drawbacks like items not individually wrapped. The facilities are adequate but nothing extraordinary.

The hotel is a mixed bag with its vintage 1960's rooms that are decent and cheap, but could use updating. The service is top-notch with the super nice and attentive owners, Mike and Kirti. The location is ideal for activities with a small-town charm, though some may find it hard to navigate without a GPS. The dining offers standard options with a few cons like unwrapped items. The facilities are average but serve their purpose.
