Loved the retro feel of this motel. Town is adorable with a super fun vibe—very walkable for a night out. Cute breakfast basket and you can make coffee in the room. We’ll be back for a longer stay to do some waterfall hikes!

Staff was friendly and helpful. Extremely clean room and bathroom. This sounds silly to some but an actual usable bar of body soap that lathered on the washcloth! The bottles of water in fridge were greatly appreciated. Quiet area which was nice. Room did not reek of weed or cigarettes!
