Easy check-in, very responsive to questions and needs. Clean and comfortable. Close to everything we wanted to do.
1-night trip

10/10

The room I stayed in was fantastic and well kept, a little small and I wish there would have been a small table and they had forgotten to leave a paper with wifi passwords etc but these are very minor details and I can't rate it less than 5 stars for trivial things. 10/10 would stay again

8/10

Definitely a fun experience. I wish there was some kind of table or coffee table. The bathroom was very small but nice and clean. The morning we wer due to check out, the smell of weed was overwhelming. When we exited our room, all cars of neighboring rooms were gone but there were 4 teenage boys with the cleaning cart acting unruly. It made me a little nervous on cleaning practices.

We loved this cute and modern motel. We travel all the time and wish more places like this existed. We are not a fan of big chain hotels at all. This is a perfect example of what a motel/hotel should be! It was clean, simple and modern. We loved the smart tv too! Will absolutely stay here if we are ever in the area again!
