Super cute updated boutique motel. Easy parking, smooth check in and checkout, very clean, quiet, and it had everything we needed for a great stay. We were in town for a concert at Caesar’s (formerly Harvey’s) amphitheater. It is an easy walk there and to all of the shops at restaurants in Heavenly Village. I would happily stay here again.
