Our room (201) was comfortable, clean and had nice natural lighting. The spacious bathroom and products were much appreciated. The hotel lobby could use a refresh as it didn’t match the light and brightness of the room. The garage could use a serious power wash and a repaint but it was explained to us that the garage was a separate operator from the hotel. The hotel’s central location can’t be beat.

This hotel is a well done retro reno place. It is a former old-fashioned motel with rooms surrounding the outdoor pool. There are lots of great eateries and it is a very convenient walk to DPAC. The property has lots of amenities, including yoga, room service and a poolside bar. The only downside to this is that there was a dj at the pool during the afternoon, and it was so loud that, even with our door closed and pillows over our heads, we couldn't block out the sound. However, it did make for a very communal atmosphere.
