decent 2 star hotel right IN the historic district. Everything is walkable from the motel. My only knock is that as a smoker, I don't particularly appreciate having the (smokers section) share with the (pet relief area)

Lovely location and friendly staff. Nice coffee in the morning, and had some amazing looking donuts, which I sadly do not eat. Also had popcorn in the evening which was awesome. Was an excellent place for my dog and I to stay and be very close to downtown.

8/10 Very good

Stayed two different times: each room needs minor repair: same as every motel, maintenance. Cons: $25 per night to park in their own parking lot! Wow! No cable so no tv unless you download apps. What!? Super sugary donut for breakfast. Pros: love the retro look. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Everything within walking distance. Not super loud at night so able to sleep comfortably.
