Well Done!!!
Was not expecting much upon first glance of outside however was pleasantly shocked at the room which not only clean and modern but tastefully done. The bed was great! Plus the TV has Roku! Did I mention a sound machine? Well done!!! Also had fun in the lounge.

Adorable
So freaking cute! It’s definitely simple…it’s a motel after all. If you require a more modern place with full amenities, then this might not be for you. It was absolutely perfect for me! I walked around a little during the day and felt perfectly safe, but I did not feel like walking around alone at night was a good idea. The burgundy lounge upstairs was great as well. Awesome bartender and really good live music.

Fantastic little spot! Very cute rooms and super easy check in/check out. Location not the best, but also not the worst. Plus if you’re not feeling like going into the city, there’s a lounge/bar that’s super cute. Overall a good experience for a good price.

Family road trip
This was quite the find. Listen is not in the greatest part of town but it is convenient to get to everywhere. The hotel brings back nostalgic memories. The room is virtually brand new. Probably the cleanest room I've stayed in ever.

Cute find
This was a super cute idea, really nice, and all new inside. We loved it! Only downside, kinda loud and not the best area. But I’d stay here again, and I loved the self check in.
