Wonderful customer service at check-in! Glen offered information, asked if I needed anything, gave me a little bit of history of property. Convenient and plentiful parking. Adirondack chairs and firepits scattered throughout the property. The room had very nice touches, such as retro sink, overlapping shower doors that didn't let the water leak out, covered peep hole on the front door, retro-styled appliances. Room and property were clean and fresh. Nice space out back for my future service dog to take care of business.

Great local hotel in a great spot. Get a room that opens up to the pool. Get a bottle of wine and kick back on the patio.

The Motel has a very cute retro vibe! There were 4 of us staying in the room and although it was smaller than our usual stays, we would definitely come back. The location was convenient. The only negative that I would say it when we got into our room, it was very musty coming from the AC (we believe). We opened up the windows and it helped. But I’m still giving it a 5 star review!! Until next time.

I prefer the choice of a bathtub but that’s my only negative. Good price for a really easy and relaxing stay. Nice property, easy and friendly check in and out, and comfortable fun room. We would definitely stay again.

This is a great place to stay! The room was very clean. There was plenty of parking right in front of the room we had. The pool was nice, but the water is cold. Not heated. But you get used to it and it feels great. The rooms with a king size bed have their own little patio with table and chairs out a sliding glass door. The view was very nice. We will stay here again.

It's been awhile since I've stayed at a motel, this one makes them great again! Loud AC? Nope. Whisper quiet mini splits. Along with comfy beds, big screen TV, brand new and modern bathroom, retro and new mini fridge, microwave, and quiet rooms. If motels are like this now, I will seek them out. Don't let the proximity to the I80 concern you, as I was hesitant to book here because of that. Zero freeway noise, and the location is quite convenient. Motels perfected right here, well done!
