Such a fun place to stay! They've done a great job turning this once drive-in motel into a trendy oasis. The rooms are simple, clean and cool (both temperature & style), the grounds are well-maintained with great landscaping, the pool is super chill, great bar, management is friendly and accommodating -- there's everything you could want or need within walking distance. Highly recommend.

This property is so cute! The rooms were nice and spacious. They included noise machines that I really appreciated. The only thing that was the thin comforters. It was difficult to get warm at night. Other than that, I had a great stay!
