This was a cute, revived property that brought back memories from my youth. It was very clean and the staff were nice and helpful, they even left a welcoming post card and chocolate for us.the pool was great ! They even provided kids pool toys and swimsuit cover ups. I would highly recommend this property.

Very unique fun, retro motel! Comfy beds. Clean. Pool closed early in our opinion. There was a water cooler and ice free to use. Ping pong, a fire pit, picnic tables, etc. walking distance to a small beach. Cute murals behind the building. Excellent water pressure. Cute gift shop. We enjoyed our stay! Would stay again. Parking lot is a little narrow. If you are a larger person, the toilet area in the room is VERY SMALL.

My entire stay was fantastic! The first day we were there we ran into an issue with the toilet. The very kind woman in the office area was quick to help resolve the issue, and wished us a fun weekend. The property was very clean, quiet and has the most comfortable pillows I have ever used in my life. Additionally, the water pressure in the shower was 100/10! The pool area was clean and my daughter LOVED it! The property is right across the street from a little spot you can go and watch the sunset. I highly recommend this motel!

Beautiful view, quiet location. No personal interaction with staff. Nice little breakfast joint down the street! Booked again for a trip in August!

It's cute. Do as I did: go to this expecting it to be reminiscent of a past era of travel but with modern upgrades and you will not be disappointed. I liked it a lot, although the bathroom is a bit outdated. Disappointed in the contact-less check-in; I would have enjoyed meeting the owner/operators, but with no staff around, you kind of feel a little funny. I like meeting people. Maybe that is different in season - I don't know. But pride in one's property and operation is best shown/shared through a friendly smile and welcome.

Excellent mom & pop motel. Retro 60s vibe. Excellent attention to detail. Centrally located. We would definitely stay here whenever we’re in town.

What an adorable property. The newish owners really did a great job fixing this place up for as old as it is. It was a short stay, but I’d stay there again for sure based on the one night.

I came up for a golf trip at the Arcadia courses and decided to stay here for my visit. The motel was hosting an art retreat which isn’t typically my thing but all the people I talked with were really cool. I talked briefly with the owner when I got there and she was amazing and had a really cool vibe. Would definitely stay again.
