This is an older motel that has been renovated. It is little bit rough around the edges but overall it is very good. The staff was very good and room was spotless. Easy parking right in front of the door makes things very convenient.

From the moment you stepped into the lobby till you leave your room, you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. The lobby is shaped like a retro home. Then when you go in your sleeping room, it is exactly the same feeling everything here is awesome. I would stay here over and over and over. The price was excellent as well. The only thing in our room is, we had a slow draining tub, but would that prevent me from staying here NEVER. Please check it out. It is perfect especially for us baby boomers.

I must admit I was a bit uncertain when booking this hotel, and hesitated whether I should go with a reliable hotel brand. I put my trust in the reviews and it paid off! When we pulled up and my husband and I saw “the old motel style” I got a bit nervous, especially since we were traveling with another couple. The end result was everyone was excited to see the 50’s style and car in front, and the owners did an awesome job in their renovation with their retro 50’s feel. The lobby was fun, provided high quality local coffee, and Donna was super friendly and helpful in providing dinner recommendations. The room was very clean and comfortable, and having a refrigerator and microwave was very helpful. The location was perfect, a quick drive just a few blocks to a vibrant strip offering great quality restaurants, and a 15 min drive to the airport. I was glad that I didn’t book a boring chain by the airport!
