Surprisingly quiet, wasn't a huge fan of the room we had as windows didn't open and that made it less than fresh, but for the price it was fine.

The reviews I read about this property were spot on. The retro design is done so well. It was clean, comfortable and the rooms were well maintained. The staff was very friendly and helpful - special shout out to Elijah and Kim. The breakfast sandwich was great, and the coffee was excellent.

Skip it if you can

The AC was off when we arrived, so our room was hot and everything felt sticky. Our shower had a bug and a few hairs in it. It's a decent place, but a motel nonetheless.
