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.

Retro motel on Route 66. Spotlessly clean and furnished for the theme. We liked that it was single storey and could park our car outside the door. Lovely location next to a lake. A few minutes drive into town with lots of dining options. Would happily stay again.

Two dead birds on the property. Noisy neighbors (other guests). Limited breakfast options (bananas, prepackaged pastries. That's it: not even coffee or tea).
