Liked: Cleanliness
The shower was a bit dangerous since the water was leaking outside onto the bathroom floor. I was very concerned for my family’s safety in the bathroom.

Disliked: Staff & service
The reservation was for one king bed but we got 2 double beds. No cleaning staff. Although we put out the door sign each day to request cleaning. The room was never cleaned. The heater in the room is very loud and ran most of the night going on an off. This motel has no front desk. They send you a text so you can get the key from a lock box outside the building. One chair inside. No coffee pot, but there is a microwave and fridge. Pretty spare accommodations. No carpeting.
I was pleasantly surprised how nice the room was! It looks relatively new and a lot of thought went into the design of the rooms. I love that the room was not carpeted; the bedding was all white (IE. Clean), the mattresses were in protective covers, and no old, dirty box springs. The bed also had no bed skirt to cover a dirty floor underneath.
To use the TV, you need your own Netflix or Youtube account to log in to. There is also a conveniently placed HDMI plug on the wall that I assume connects to the TV, but i did not try it.
This is a remotely operated hotel, so there is no one at the front desk, but I was contacted ahead of my stay with check in details and it was very easy to check in and out at the kiosk. My key did not work to open the lobby where the breakfast items were (Coffee, tea, granola bars), but someone from the cleaning staff arrived as I was checking out and welcomed me in to get something before I left.
I would definitely stay here again!
This is the most artsy hotel my husband and I have had the pleasure of staying in! The building is so pretty! The staff was helpful. Our room was clean and huge!!! We will stay at this location again if we are in town.
Run from this. The place is not clean. The room was used to store an old television. The area rug and furniture has stains. The window was covered with paper. I never met any staff there. I think it is operated remotely.
