Loved the 60’s theme. Staff was great. Room was clean. Being dog friendly was a necessity and I appreciated the bonus of dog treats at the front counter. Mother Earth has a brewery down the street and it was nice to be able to purchase cans of their brews at the front desk. There was construction on the street outside, so the ongoing noise was my only complaint and nothing within the control of the motel. Would definitely stay again.

Fun Stay With Great Vibes

The front desk was so friendly and super helpful. We selected a small economy room so it was perfect for us (no extra room besides the necessary things) but if I had kids, I would want a bigger room because it would have been very cramped. There are so many fun little activities to do on property and it’s all gated in so we felt very safe. We were first worried about the safety of the neighborhood but when we went down the street and sat outside at the pizzeria it was a great vibe and felt safe! We would for sure stay here again.
