The rooms are compact but have everything we need, clean, and well-stocked. All rooms on ground floor opening onto courtyard. 3rd time we stayed here.

I quite appreciated the quaintness of this vintage motel. Despite the obvious age of the small, roadside inn, the rooms were updated, very clean, and bed and pillows provided a wonderful restful sleep. [The drip coffee maker and filter pack coffee was a disappointment, but I did not book my stay for the in-room coffee.] Gerard S, Naperville, Illinois
