Omg, my favorite part of my trip was staying at this motel. It was stepping back into time 60 years ago. The employees were young and pleasant. Both nights we sat out on the patio sipping our delicious cocktails made fresh from the bar. The rooms were spotless, fresh and clean. Stay here you won't be disappointed. New owners please do not change a thing.

Room was clean and comfortable. But overall I didn't feel this hotel was a good value for the price at all. There are additional "resort fees" for various vague amenities that you may or may not use. The hot tub was closed, and after inquiring with the front desk whether it would be usable, I could overhear the manager in the back room brusquely reply No! Front desk staff were very pleasant and helpful, but it's clear that management is just out to make a buck. However, the worst part of our "resort" experience was in the hotel bar. The place was only half full, but the bartender completely ignored us for 10 minutes before we gave up and left. I felt as if I'd stumbled underdressed into a hipster West Hollywood cocktail lounge. And her salary is essentially being paid from my "resort fees". I didn't try the "complimentary" coffee, because I was so turned off by the bad vibe.
