I was pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness and excellent condition of the property. I appreciated the details that can be overlooked like the nice landscaping and the fresh paint on the buildings. Not what you imagine when you hear the word "motel".

I found this motel online. It is super cool, retro with lots of amenities in the room such as Keurig, good size fridge, microwave. Outside is a lovely pool. The nicest thing is the management guy is awesome, receptive, and takes immaculate care of the place. I highly recommend staying here.

Liked: Cleanliness

Not bad for a night or too.

Check in was fine once the person at the front desk returned from his lunch break..... Rooms were very clean albeit a bit smaller than expected. The windows work well to keep out most of the noise should you unfortunately, like us, have ridiculously rude neighbors who love to slam their door every time they went outside to smoke. Which was frequently :( Bed linen was clean and housekeeping was every other day. Pool was a nice extra as was the bowling alley next door for something to do. Bit pricey for what it is, but I guess you are paying for easy location.

Property was clean and convenient to many different food options. Staff was nice and helpful . I don't usually stay in motels because they are often dirty and seem like they charge by the hour. But this was probably the cleanest motel I have ever stayed in and surprisingly very quiet for a holiday weekend.
