Really unique motel, needs a little refresh and breakfast (and cost for young kids) was disappointing, but it's quirky, well located and worth the room rate.

Oldie but a goodie.
Location and the inclusion of breakfast is a winner. We stayed in the executive room where the bed was very comfortable. Shower is great. Considering the age still worth considering.
