Vintage charm meets modern design. The exterior reminds you of a mid century roadside motel while the interior rooms are renovated and stylish complete with everything you need. The staff is friendly and professional. They make you feel right at home.

There was hair of men and women in the bed. I think you need to clean the air dryer filter because was not use i think thats why i did not call and change my room. The unit smells good. Ac works. Bathroom clean. If the bed was clean i would gave you 5 stars. Sorry.
