It was a nice stay in this Inn. Compared to other lodges/motels this one has a nice personal touch, much better price-performance ratio than others even though it can get a bit busy during breakfast time.

Amazing Inn
I love how quiet this place is. The common area between the rooms looks like a quaint neighborhood. The room reminded me of favorite hotels I stayed in as a kid. Easy to find right by the main road, with lots of amenities and things to do, this place is an excellent value. Do not pass this up!

We stayed at this hotel during a road trip from Utah to Texas and we enjoyed our stay. The hotel is very clean, breakfast was included and the cute Retro theme is everywhere. Very nice!
