We loved this cute and modern motel. We travel all the time and wish more places like this existed. We are not a fan of big chain hotels at all. This is a perfect example of what a motel/hotel should be! It was clean, simple and modern. We loved the smart tv too! Will absolutely stay here if we are ever in the area again!
