This was one of the cutest motels we have ever stayed in! The check in was simple. The room was very clean and modern. There were very nice dispensers for shampoo, conditioner and soap in the bathroom. The courtyard was so quaint. I felt like I was in Italy with all of the stone work and outside staircase leading to the second floor rooms. I would definitely stay here again and will recommend to others. The ONLY thing I would suggest is that there would be a light by the comfy chair so they I could have sat and read a book.

Second stay and everything was great. I really like the location and the nostalgia of the hotel. If you want the Ritz keep looking, if you want a memorable hotel in a memorable atmosphere then you’re at the right place.

Our email prior to checking in said that we had paid already, since we had made these arrangements months ago, we really didn’t remember if we did . When we went to check our email, the clerk at the hotel was very rude - saying that the email just said that because we held our room with our credit card and that she wasn’t charging us twice. I didn’t appreciate her tone. I think, first that the email should not have said paid, and maybe should say pending. The other issue I had was that someone tried to use a key to open my door while I was inside my room! I opened the door and they had already walked back down the stairs. I told the desk clerk and she brushed it off. I’m not sure if I would recommend this place.
