The actual hotel was a wonderful stay very convenient. Very Park on the other side of the street dog park, etc. The only downside was parking was very small and you had to move your car if you parked in the other property around the hotel by 8:00 AM.

Its a cute cozy place to stay. Checking in/out is easy. The room was clean & comfortable. The bed and pillows were comfortable as well. Hiwever, if you're a light sleeper this may not be the place for you. Although you cannot hear your neighbors, you can definitely hear the street. I always travel with my sleep ear plugs so that helped out. I liked the nearby eatery options all within walking distance and having a mini fridge was nice. Parking is limited, but there are nearby options if needed. Overall, when I visit again I would stay there.

Cute and cozy

It was a cute and cozy stay. The bed and sheets were very comfy. Everything you need for a stay. It was very clean, which we appreciated. However, our room was closer to the street, and you could hear the cars going by sometimes which could be really annoying to some people.

Agave Inn, cute & simple

The Agave Inn is a cute renovated motel. The room was very clean with cute and simple decor. For a one nighter is was great. The street gets through the walls, so you can hear people talking while walking to their rooms late at night. Other than that, check-in is quick and simple. There is a number-pad instead of physical keys. You are walking distance to a few restaurants, and only a mile or so away from many more. Parking is very limited on the property, but there is street parking. I would stay here again if I am in the area.
