The property was super cool and stayed on theme in every detail. The staff was super friendly and attentive! Our room itself was really really dark and to get any extra lighting you had to turn on the party switch. It would've been great to have an extra lamp or something. The drain in the tub was also not very good so any time you showered you were standing in a good amount of water. I was a little bummed about the no TV in the room, but I understand staying on theme.

The Dive Motel is definitely a very cool designed motel. The staff was great, Will the bartender was a lot of fun. The rooms are pretty awesome from a vintage design perspective. One of my favorite things is the disco ball in every room!! The only issues I had were that some of the blinds slates were broken, so people could have peeked into my room if they wanted to. I jammed socks in the gaps at night. The beds are VERY soft, so if you like a firmer mattress, be ready for some discomfort. Also, several of the lamps and/or light switches didn’t work properly, so I had to unplug them at night and back in later.

My fiancé and I stayed in Penthouse 1 & the vibe is just unmatched. The perfect tub setup does exist here! The music choice on the wall was a nice touch as well. It did rain our entire stay so didn’t get to enjoy the pool or hot tub. All in all had an incredible stay!!

The property was nice - cool, clean, organized and had all supplies needed for a stay! The con is that the area where it is located - there is no much around and there is limited parking space. I read about noise (as there is a nice bar there!!), but it ended up at 10pm - so no issues at all :) Wish I had time to enjoy the pool :)
