Motel is super cute and our room was the perfect size for two of us for one night on our road trip. Only a couple things would have made it better. The window really needs to have curtains that block out the sun. When you’re on vacation and drove for a long time, the last thing you want is to wake when the sun comes up. The room brightens up too much in the am. Would have been nice to have black out curtains to not be awaken at 0600. Also, the mattress is a bit too firm.

We loved our overnight stay at this property! Check in was super easy didn’t even have to get out of the car! The room was clean, comfortable bed. Great selection of snacks, juice and coffee for breakfast. I do wish there was deadbolt or chain lock on the door but other than that it was perfect! Highly recommend especially for the price!

Rate is not worth the stay, Rooms are very small and bathrooms are super tight, They have done good job to renovate interiors, best would be to remove the carpets because that smell after sometime hits you. Overall stay was okay okay, I will try something else, more modern and spacious in same buck.

Older motor court that has been extensively updated with modern plumbing fixtures, lighting, TV & floor coverings. '50s decor is enjoyable (for those of us old enough to remember it). Essentially a small basic room but pleasant, clean and with simple take-away breakfast items. Would certainly stay here again.

This motel is a great find. The location is close to everything. The decorating is very cute and room was perfect for us. The only thing I would have liked is a deadbolt or similar on the door. The lock on door didn't feel very secure. Other than that, it was perfect. Highly recommend!

A fun place to stay. Right on the main road so easy walk to a few businesses. Newly renovated with fun themes. Clean. Comfortable.
2.0 / 10.0
Cute property, but that’s where it ends. The manager/front desk attendant is there limited hours and unnecessarily rude. I only interacted with him at check-in, which was fine, and then when he approached my car.
I was scorned for not knowing I could just call him at his home quarters for a hairdryer that’s behind the front desk. I was made to read a scroll of rules at check-in, and that tidbit wasn’t listed anywhere. The manager told me that it was because I’d booked a “cheap room” and maybe I’d be more comfortable at a “corporate hotel” if I wanted a hair dryer. I stay in Salida weekly, in all of the other local hotels - hairdryers in all of them. Standard in the US.
The door is insecure - easily destructible frame, has no deadbolt or latch, hasn’t been wiped down since they painted it. Need a coffee maker? Sorry, just a useless retro tissue box cover and phone. Batteries dead in the remote, bathroom floor so sticky I had to wear shoes. Can deal with all of that, and did.
But the most concerning part? At 9:50a I was taking a call in my car in front of the hotel room, shortly after checking out early because I couldn’t get a good Internet connection. The manager/front desk attendant/now housekeeper approached my vehicle, had me roll down my window, and told me if I wasn’t off the parking lot by 10am, I’d be charged for another night, so I took the opp to ask ab the hairdryer. I had zero negative interactions with him prior. Please save your money and peace.

I loved the attention to detail here. The fixtures in the bathroom right down to the hinges in the bathroom door were new and sparkly. Then the retro styling in the bedroom made me smile with every detail I noticed. The bed was comfy too.
The grab and go breakfast consisted of individually wrapped muffins, granola bars, mini donuts, and pop tarts. There were also small bottles of fruit juice drink and coffee/tea.
Outside offered a fun play structure for kiddies and a barbecue with a picnic table. A colorful place inside and out; we really enjoyed our stay.

This sink would not drain, the guy who checked me in came right over and had it fixed in no time, I appreciate that. I booked months in advance, it would have been better to have a room that wasn't the closet one to the main road. I will always stay here.

I was a bit disappointed in the place after having read the positive reviews. I was especially disappointed that my room did not have a coffee maker. The decor is quaint, but the room was a bit difficult to heat. Overall it was a decent place to stay for a couple of nights.
