I loved this retro motel!! You can actually check in by driving through if you choose to which I thought was awesome. The stuff was super friendly, the room was very clean and the bathroom was updated which I love. It also had a large flatscreen TV. It was a great value, central location and the bed was comfortable too!!

Clean and tidy. Cute little room. The only suggestions I have for improve is to add nightstands. I've neve stayed in a place that didn't have at least one. Very awkward not having a place besides the floor to sit things like phone, glasses, tv remote etc.
