“The vintage motel has a distinctive style, highlighted by its convenient, free parking and a pleasing continental breakfast. Room cleanliness is a plus, though some found the soundproofing less than ideal; overall, it's a property with notable potential. It's a place with a few trade-offs but a certain charm.”
