This place was a real gem. I loved the nostalgia of the place. There were a lot of thoughtful touches that added to the ambience. Cameron at the front desk was welcoming and very helpful when our tv didn’t work. Only complaint was the beds were a little firm for my liking. I would definitely recommend to others or stay again.

This motel is such a charming find! It has a super cute 50s retro vibe that’s both fun and nostalgic. Everything was spotless — very clean rooms and well-maintained property. The staff provided great service and made the stay easy and comfortable. The location is convenient with plenty of nearby options, and parking was simple and stress-free. The only minor downside is that the walls are a bit thin, so I’d recommend bringing earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. That said, it definitely wouldn’t stop me from staying here again. Overall, a wonderful spot with great value for the price!

Great gem of a place to stay. Staff were amazing - friendly and helpful. The rooms and lobby were super clean and the coffee that was available was top notch. You also couldn’t beat the location or the cute way it was decorated from start to finish. I would definitely stay again if I’m ever back in town.

Room was decorated as a cute 50's/60's throwback style. Only downside was the front desk was not staffed all night which was the reason we did not book again when we returned from our trip because our flight got in after 11pm.
