We enjoyed our 2 night stay at the property. Only suggestion I have is that towels should be dried for longer. It is not useful or appealing to have damp towels. Or yellowed ones. Also should air out rooms so damp feeling alleviated.

The bathroom was not updated around the sink. The room was extremely small, room only for the bed and a dresser. The pool was nice but it was the only amenity.

It says retro motel but it is located at a trashy trailor park. If i hadn't been with another traveler, i wouldn't have stayed. I didnt feel safe, i almost cried just pulling into the parking spot, i didn't want to get out of my car. It is extremely old. No old charm here, just old. Not returning.

Would stay again
It rained almost the whole time we were there but were surprised to find chairs folded under each bed. We were able to meet in one room to play games. Cute motel with comfortable beds. Appreciated that we could book for one night instead of multiple nights during summer season. Definitely visit the Dairy Dayz down the road. We saw several kids with ice cream cones as big as your face. They had all types of ice cream and reasonable prices.

Cozy
The front counter staff was great, he gave us surrounding area information and a map which were very useful. The room was cozy, it took a long time for water to heat up and there were no plugs nor charging ports near the bed. The air conditioning unit kept turning itself on-off every few minutes which hindered my sleep. I'm keeping in mind that this was their 2nd week of opening back up for the season so things may be a bit rough.
