Super cute little place. Older mom & pop style motel. They kept the vintage charm and added some really cute upgrades and touches. Everything was incredibly clean! Amazing pillows. I do wish I would've asked for an extra blanket before going to bed, since I woke up a little chilly, but that's my fault. There's a gas station across the road, but other food options are a couple miles away. That was a fair tradeoff for a reasonably priced, clean, quiet, and safe room. Great job, owners and staff!!

Truly, the BEST Budget Inn. The owners are SO kind, welcoming, helpful, and I LOVE how they have preserved the 60s-70s theme. It’s VERY cool. This is all about providing a great customer experience so people can spread the word, let the world know, and have them come back again. And they EXCEEDED in every area.

Route 66!
This hotel is for lovers of old school travel - this place is part of the classic Route 66, and although it has included microwaves and other staples of current travel, it preserved the best of a nice room in the 1950’s. How do they keep a tile bathroom totally spotless? We took a walk by the lake next to the motel. Loved it! And it was very affordable.

Nice stay!
We loved staying here! The owner is very welcoming and accommodating. Being right next to the lake was beautiful, quiet, and we felt very safe. They really went the extra mile in making sure our visit was enjoyable. We appreciated the decor--Very 1950-1960ish, but clean. Our only suggestion would be to have another chair in the room besides the desk chair. If we are ever in the area again, we'll be happy to stay here!

Very nice owners! Definitely retro style and could use a bit of refurbishing, but huge shower and everything we needed to be comfortable. They are one of the very few “pet friendly” lodgings that still allows cats - good for them!

It was a nice place to stay for the night. It was old and needs some TLC. Owners were very nice. We had a medical emergency and had to leave early and they gave us a refund for our 2nd night. The one thing we noticed is that the pool area behind our room could of been nicer and cleaned some. Overall we would stay again.
