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.

Clean, wonderful staff, great ambiance. It has a really swanky 60's theme that is really a breath of fresh air vs white soulless everything in most hotels.

Staff super friendly & this was the cleanest place I have stayed at in regards to hotels or motels hands down. Also it is unique and kid friendly with a pool, put put mini course, and shuffle board. Affordable & overall a nice little quiet place to stay when you’re away from home.
