This witty refresh of a traditional motel is just fun! Love the colors. Easy walk to several dining options. Comfortable bed, shower with plenty of hot water and pressure. Only downside is traffic noise if room faces street.

Clean and pleasant. It's on the main street, so a bit noisy from time to time even late at night. It has an old fashioned door lock with no dead bolt.

This is a fun place to stay for a night or two. Clean rooms decorated with retro 50's-60's stuff. Surprisingly not noisy at all given its location directly off the main drag. Slept like a stone. Solid walls kept the noise outside. Easy parking right in front of your door makes for quick unpacking and packing. Friendly helpful staff. a couple of very good eateries with short walking distance. Reasonably priced and very near the golf course.

Only interacted with front desk and it was a pleasure checking in. The room was a double queen, in the back, so it was quiet, clean, and had any amenity we needed for an overnight stay, including outside seating areas which were great in the fall season.

This has to be the worst noise level i have ever experienced in a motel. The sound of semi trucks roaring by all night is unbelievable. The front desk suggested that perhaps the jet engine sounding window ac would cover it up. It doesn't. Would have had a better night sleep behind a dumpster. Made reservation on expedia, where i clearly stated i have a servive dog. Was charged extra at check in
