Pros:

We stayed 2 nights. We loved the room and convenience. The retro look was fantastic. We would have loved to rate 5 stars except for a few things. The room needed a ceiling fan with a light. The bathroom light and fan were on the same switch. It would have been nice to have just one or the other at times. Finally, there just wasn't enough counter space in the bathroom. We had to use the window sill to hold out paraphernalia.
These were only minor inconveniences. We would stay there again. The price was great.

Best Life Town
Pros:

Betty Genes for breakfast and lunch was amazing good food and great service in a quaint atmosphere. And they were open on Sunday when many places weren’t.

Ricardo’s is a must!

The Safari was really cool and we can’t wait to see how it grows.

The concert in the park was the reason we stayed and visited with old friends and it was fabulous and we will be back to stay again.

Great for overnight stay
Pros:

Great room for short stay not intending to be in the room except for sleeping. The King room was snugbytwell appointed. My only suggestion would be to have a small folding chair somewhere in the room that someone could sit on if they weren't comfortable just sitting on the bed to read or work on the computer. I appreciated the small computer desk. I appreciated the coffee maker and little sink area.

Pros:

This was a great spot. The rooms are renovated and very nice. We had everything we needed. The room had an odd odor, but that could have been due to the age of the property. We got used to it and it wasn’t overwhelming.

Pros:

If you have a chance come to this beautiful little town. The remodeled motor court is special. It was so beautiful all lit up for Christmas, it look like a mo ie set. If we come this way again we will definitely stop again.
