Just an overnight passing through. It was nice. Unique. Bed was comfortable-Good sleep. Small room. Check in and check out friendly. Breakfast was ok. Perfect for us. We will stay again for overnight as we pass through.
It is a very nostalgic stay. The decor was cute, and the staff were friendly. The room we stayed in was not bad, however the air conditioner made an awful sound and when taking showers, I think we all shared the water, so it would go in and out with the cold and hot. Breakfast was ok, gravy was very chunky, not much room to eat in the breakfast area, so had to take it in the room.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Great service, clean rooms, staff was very personable, knowledgeable, helpful and professional.
We stayed in the Marilyn Monroe room with a jetted tub.
It was SO CLEAN! The housekeepers do a PHENOMENAL job!
It was quiet and being able to park right outside your door is a huge perk!
The person working the front desk was nice and helpful!
We will be coming back for getaways!

Website claims there is a hot tub, literally the only reason we got this particular hotel. There was none. There people drinking outside all night & it was hard to sleep. No hand soap in room. The breakfast was good but we could’ve stayed anywhere else for the same price with a hot tub and pool indoors
