Cute, quirky place. Staff was EXCELLENT and friendly. Beds were super comfy and the robes were wonderful. A little more food options would be nice. Only coffee and pastries for breakfast, but they were good! We did hear some road noise and you can hear a train in the background. Would stay here again.

Bestie and I came here as a halfway to meet. The management & staff were so accommodating in allowing an early check-in. As a vintage hotel, the rooms were amazing, having updated beds, bathrooms, lounge areas, yet keeping the nostalgic vibe of a 60’s motel. We loved the close proximity of nearby bars/dining and enjoyed a cocktail at their amazing bar as well. We will definitely meet here again for our next girls’ night!

Great location with a lot of options within walking distance. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The property itself feels dated due to its age. A good home base if you plan on being out and about all day.

The place looks like hell from outside…like an old 70’s motel. But dont judge a book by its cover. The rooms are very well kept. Comfortable bed. Shower with decent pressure. Clean. Bar/lounge in lobby area was great. Good cocktails. Great vibe. It was a surprisingly nice experience.

Check in was great with lovely staff. There was a cool bar area but we did not drink there. It was a quiet room on the backside. We walked to go eat and there is a Publix near by. This is a nice downtown spot. No microwave in the room. A little pricey but we felt we got our money worth with location.
