Cutest little motel. Dated but in a cute way. SUPER clean (coming from someone who gets grossed out easily at hotels). The linens smelled fresh and there was no dust. We are sensitive to pet dander and dust so I always worry but we had zero issues. The bed had an old-fashioned “magic fingers” vibration mechanism that our 7yo got a kick out of. The place was quiet and charming and super close to everything. We didn’t use our car once to walk around downtown. We will definitely stay here again.

Sundown Inn actually has Magic Fingers Vibrating Bed. Invented in 1958 by John Houghtaling which was a1960s stable in hotels/motels. 15 minutes for a quarter. Nice Touch!
