Helpful staff at check in and check out. If you grew up with motels this place brings back a great deal of nostalgia. There are nice touches like a rotary phone, RC Colas and moonpies in the room. The hotel was clean and parking was cheaper than some other hotels. The Inn is located about a block from the courthouse and within easy walking distance to restaurants and many of the sights.

the room was clean, no weird smells, however the walls were thin and we could hear all the noises from the street outside , also the room was humid. Not fans of doughnuts therefore we skipped breakfast. Location was good. It was ok for one night stay.

The property was built in 1964 and definitely has that mid-century look and style. The staff were very friendly, the room spacious and clean, the doughnuts and coffee delicious. Added bonus were the RC colas and mini MoonPies! If you want fancy this place may not be for you, but if you want nostalgia in a great location stay here!

Run-down old motel that happens to have good design and a cool old sign. It's too bad, everything sounds good on paper but the execution was terrible and prices are wild for what you get. $25 to park in an empty lot with random people milling around your car. Free Moon Pies and a couple of cans of soda don't make up for a gross old motel. On the plus side, very pet friendly including nice treats and dog park on the side of the property (although the gate didn't shut properly so what's the point?).

It's a very nice retro-themed hotel. Street noise can be a little much for some people I'm sure, but didn't bother me at all. Rooms have everything you'll need. Would go back again for sure.

the bathroom was nasty. The fan in the bathroom you can’t turn off and it’s super loud. The rooms were gross. There was rust on a lot of the room. You pay $25 a day to park on the parking lot. The breakfast was just coffee and donuts. The staff seemed nice.
