Staying at this motel was a delightful experience, with a vintage charm that took me back in time while still feeling modern and clean. The lobby was filled with fascinating music history, and the staff made us feel right at home. I was slightly disappointed there was no breakfast due to COVID-19 protocols, but the overall ambiance made it worth it. It's a great value for those who appreciate character over conventional amenities.
