The property sits right next to the Drive in theater and you can get in for free by staying at the property. Its just a cute little place with different themed rooms. We had Tom Cruise. We were too tired to go to the drive in but its a great amenity.

This property is connected to an outdoor drive in movie theater. I didn’t realize that. It was not a problem and the room was very nice and quiet. I think the theater admission was included with the room.
