Lovely place to stay!

What a lovely little gem we found! Seems to be completely remodeled from it's old 1950s original build but still has such a fun retro vibe to it! Reminds me of old I Love Lucy roadside motels that are so homey! The staff was lovely and very attentive. I think we'll try their small cabins next time we're in town!

This hotel and its staff were just astonishing! Fantastic location, rooms are large and comfortable. The staff is friendly, nice and professional. I will for sure, come back again and f I am in the nearby. No hesitation. Universal studios are 5 min away with uber, for less than 10 dollars. You save then the parking fee.
