What a fun place to stay! From the moment we walked in greeted by Toad (and his owner), we felt very comfortable here. The little retro details all added up to a friendly 3 night stay. The co-owners and staff are just as friendly as Toad but they work a lot harder to make your stay enjoyable. Just remember, you are staying in an old school motel, not the Hyatt Regency. Be nice!

Love the 50's style.

We like the 50's retro style. The room was lacking horizontal surfaces in the bathroom, otherwise it was very nice.

Keybox check-in because we arrived late, no problem. Clean, comfortable room with good mattresses and plenty of pillows. Bathroom was spotless with lots of extra towels. Car was already shoveled out when we left from the snowstorm the night before. That's a first for me!
