A fifties vibe but with up to date comfort. Close to to freeway access but set off enough to avoid the noise. Super friendly staff.

Clean, quiet and convenient. It was a little small for a family of 4, but otherwise no complaints.

My husband and I were looking for a last minute stay and happened upon this gem. This is a cute retro hotel that has been recently updated inside and out. It was clean, had comfortable beds, nice grounds and friendly staff. The prices were good too. The rooms had a microwave, refrigerator and real glassware. And in true 1950’s style you can park right in front of your room. We will definitely stay here again.

Just overnight, cute place. We prefer to have a chair in the room. Too bad they didn’t do that. Also, need to add a bath mat, had to use a towel when stepping out of the shower.

The room was cold. Heater ran all night and it was cold. Definitely not a winter destination. When I spoke with fronts desk about it, the reply was “ these new heaters are garbage “ . Not good.

The wall is thin. We can hear the adjacent room talking & playing until 2:00 am or later. It's tough when you're trying to get up & hit the road before 6:00am.

This is by far one of the tidiest budget motels I have stayed in. The place seems to be recently renovated with thoughtful retro touches. The only tiny quirk I had was the highway noise since I'm a very light sleeper. But that's something very minor. Would definitely stay here again.

We would definitely stay here again. It was clean and comfortable with cute decor. There were few people there on a random weeknight so it was quiet. We were placed right next to the other people staying there so maybe one room apart would have been nice. But they weren’t loud and the property was quiet enough even near a big road. The people working there were very friendly.
