This is the second time that I’ve stayed here. It is dog friendly and very easy to walk to everything downtown. The rooms are very nice and remodeled. And they have free warm cookies! I will definitely keep going there in the future.

Super cute updated boutique motel. Easy parking, smooth check in and checkout, very clean, quiet, and it had everything we needed for a great stay. We were in town for a concert at Caesar’s (formerly Harvey’s) amphitheater. It is an easy walk there and to all of the shops at restaurants in Heavenly Village. I would happily stay here again.
