Love the eclectic colors/in-room amenities that remind of the 1960s (yes…the in-room phone is rotary dial). Desk staff is super friendly/helpful. Their coffee machine can whip out some awesome beverages!! Such a welcome change from the standard budget hotel chains!

The quintessential Motor Inn. Chose it from a photo online and thought, this looks like a place someone puts their love and personality into. No corporate vibes here. Quirky, clean, family owned and run. Had a great stay. Will check back in anytime I need a stay in the area.
