Under new management and a very American Heritage style motor lodge from the days of old. I understand the past negative posts but the new owners have been pouring money into upgrading the entire facility. Rooms are now modern but the feel of yesteryear for the outward appearance. If you want a pleasant trip down memory lane or experience travel the old fashioned way and still maintain a modern life style in room, then this place is the new must. It's a step back to less stressful times.
