Vintage charm meets modern design. The exterior reminds you of a mid century roadside motel while the interior rooms are renovated and stylish complete with everything you need. The staff is friendly and professional. They make you feel right at home.

Disliked: Amenities
We arrived at the 3pm check in time. We were given a room key and the room had not been cleaned, un made bed, garbage, and towels on the floor. The desk clerk was friendly, genuinely upset, he checked 2 more rooms before giving us an upgraded room ( upgrade was a couch) only because it waas the only cleaned room. The room was on the street and was loud. The black put curtains not very good, and parking is unsecured and not great, especially for a truck. Also be prepared for a lot of stairs. Only one mexican restraunt near by(walking distance) Our bathroom was very nice.
