Check in was so easy through the drive through. Very clean updated older motel. Would recommend it and would stay again. Loved their grab and go breakfast. Price very reasonably
I have stayed here 2x now and love it. It’s clean and cute! I am a woman traveling by myself and I always feel safe sleeping here
Thx for the charming place to get a good nights sleep

Motorcycle stop at American Classic Inn
Beautiful retro rooms and grounds. Staff was super friendly too. The breakfast snacks and coffee/tea were also a nice touch. My second stay here and I look forward to the next👍
