Just imagine, college buddies who graduated with a degree in business buy an old motel and revamp it to the definition of “hipster” in 2015. That’s what this place is. Super cool though.

It was the little touches from the personalized note to wonderful selections of beverages and snacks in my room. The dinner menu, though brief, had variety. I had a new item, ricotta on sour dough toast.........it was delicious. The staff were very friendly and attentive, I will be sure to recommend.

It is incredible what can be done with a 1950s motel. This place was a retro-modern sanctuary. I actually can't say enough nice things! 100% will stay there again!

I recommend having something simple on the menu for those who wish to have something more traditional to make appealing to everyone. We were in the back area. It would have been nice to have had a couple chaos and table outside our room. The hotel was far from full so moving to outside our room would have been much appreciated for our personal experience.
