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.

I originally booked this "hotel" on expedia It looked super clean and very modern, however when i arrived at the address, it was a motel ! check in was a bit slow but the gentleman who checked me in was kind and hospitable. I decided to stay and check it out. once I walked in to the room to check it out there was a room with a shower curtain that was dirty, the second room I booked was a bit cleaner however there was no shower door in that bathroom and it had bad lighting, the tub looked stained.
