Renovated roadside property from the pre interstate days-this place had what we needed for a quick 24 hour stay: simple accommodations, clean rooms, pre-check in and a dog friendly property. Loved the kitschy rooms!

This was a lovely motel stay for a fall regatta. Property manager was available and attentive when we locked ourselves out! The rooms are newly renovated, clean, and cozy. Beds and pillows were very comfortable.

It was a great location for our purpose. It was clean mostly. We wanted a no smoking room. Even signed a waiver saying we wouldnt smoke in it or if it smells like smoke we would be charged. However as soon as we stepped into the room, it smelt like smoke. Not horrible but to a non smoker definately noticable. I called the number for the office and someone got back to me very quickly and came out and checked. Also gave us a can of spray which helped. My other concern was the stains on the sheets and the cigarette burns holes in the comforter. Beds were very comfy. Lastly when wiping down porcelein when cleaning make sure you get all the hair. There was someonelses hair stuck to the pedestal sink and everytime you sat to pee you could see it. I think it is guiness having the code locks and being able to get extra towels and toilet paper too. It was a nice touch having the breakfast vouchers. The mexican american diner was fantastic.

The room and bed are very clean. Keyless entry worked like a charm. The shower stall, however, is too small.

Our room was never cleaned otherwise it was a nice stay. Only 5 minutes from the track and the breakfas sandwich/coffee from a local deli was very nice. All things consider we would definitely stay again.

We very much appreciated the pet-friendly welcome. The room offered everything we needed and, although pretty basic, that's all we had looked for, so we were very happy, as it served our purposes perfectly.

The stay was overall good. The only negative aspect is that I had the room for 4 nights any it was never cleaned. Otherwise it was a good experience any the early check-in was nice.
