We've stayed here multiple times now, and the staff are ALWAYS super friendly and accommodating! The rooms with the retro vibe are adorable, and the pool is always amazing with fire pits lit at night on the cooler days. The arcade is always fun, and the food at the little restaurant is always top notch. We will continue to return!

Best motel I've ever stayed at. Everything is new/clean, rooms are well stylish, bed is comfortable, showers have great pressure. The staff is also very friendly/helpful. The cafe is great to have with decent food and coffee; they have a large selection of food/drink items to grab and go as well, including their own lemonade/juice. I felt more comfortable here than I would have at a 3 or 4 star hotel. 0 negative things to say about this place, I look forward to staying there again.
