Room was very clean and staff, front desk were very accommodating and more than anything they were centrally located next to restaurants and a bowling alley. Also, for us they allowed our dog to stay which was huge…..!
Very nice rooms and even had a small frig which wasn't listed in amenities. It was quiet and really liked it being one level, no walking noises from multistory hotel rooms. I would add a shower mat for us elder folks not to slip in shower.
We only had a quick stop over for one night on our way to Oregon, but this place was so quaint! The staff were super friendly and the room was clean and comfortable.
Loved the drive up to the room door - makes it easy to unload and load suitcases! Very clean and remodeled. Really friendly staff. Will choose again when we travel that way.
Wonderful customer service at check-in! Glen offered information, asked if I needed anything, gave me a little bit of history of property. Convenient and plentiful parking. Adirondack chairs and firepits scattered throughout the property. The room had very nice touches, such as retro sink, overlapping shower doors that didn't let the water leak out, covered peep hole on the front door, retro-styled appliances. Room and property were clean and fresh. Nice space out back for my future service dog to take care of business.
We had a great stay here. Easy to get to and from the freeway and we were greeted with friendliness and speedy check in. Unfortunately, we arrived a bit too late in order to enjoy all the fun things to do here (pool, fire pits, games, etc etc) but just know there is plenty to do here if you are traveling with a family. Also, there is a nearby bowling alley. In the mornings, they do have coffee and pastries available in the lobby.
We were able to park right in front of our room which was handy. We chose a 2-queen standard room and found it very clean, had a mini fridge, microwave and kuerig coffeemaker. For me, personally, the bed was beyond perfect and I did bring my own pillow. I had THE BEST night's sleep and was super comfortable! The shower is roomy and the bathroom was in great condition. Very quiet, also. I would definitely stay here again!!
I prefer the choice of a bathtub but that’s my only negative. Good price for a really easy and relaxing stay. Nice property, easy and friendly check in and out, and comfortable fun room. We would definitely stay again.
The Motel has a very cute retro vibe! There were 4 of us staying in the room and although it was smaller than our usual stays, we would definitely come back. The location was convenient. The only negative that I would say it when we got into our room, it was very musty coming from the AC (we believe). We opened up the windows and it helped. But I’m still giving it a 5 star review!! Until next time.
This hotel was great. Very cute and comfortable. There was an issue with the AC but the staff was very responsive and helpful. The bowling alley with restaurant was decent and just a short walk there and back. I will definitely stay here again.
