We had a great stay at the Nightingale Motel, and we had so much fun and enjoyed great craft cocktails at the Neon Mallard. Location was great, we walked everywhere. Would definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed the contactless check-in. Location was great even though there is road construction through the area, it was still easy to get in and out of the lot. Very clean and great amenities.

Rooms were clean and quiet and well appointed. The bedding was not the greatest, but we slept well enough.
We had plenty of space and we enjoyed the Neon Mallard.
There is no onsite staff to talk to, and the text responses were not excellent. It would be great if they had someone on-site during the day in the bar area that could attend to small things. For example, we ran out of coffee filters on our last morning and I was unable to simply walk to a front desk to ask for more.
We've been to a lot of re-done motor lodges and usually love them, but this one fell short in a few ways.

The room was very comfortable, spacious and loved the style. Cocktail lounge was very neat and unique and a great perk. Also highly recommend the wine bar acriss the street. Only negative was walls were thin and our neighbors were very inconsiderate.
