This was a gem of a place. It’s a quaint little motel. The rooms are well decorated and clean and it felt very private in a good way. There was no front desk but navigation via text/phone was easy

The room was clean and really cute. My only issue bringing this to 3 stars instead of 5 is the heater/AC unit. It was SO LOUD - it woke me up every time it came on. I was in town for a horse show and had to get up early and unfortunately did not get good sleep bc of this. I thought everything else was great.

Looking for peace, charm, and zero lobby small talk? This tiny mom-and-pop motel nails it. The property wraps around a festive courtyard bursting with gorgeous plants like it's giving every guest a leafy hug. I've stayed at "boutique" places in fancy places with far less personality--this one has it in spades. Check-In (Ghost-Hosted Excellence): Contactless and effortless. A text shows up with your door code, you punch it in, and boom--you're home. No lines, no bell, no "let me find the manager." Just vibes, and good vibes at that. The Courtyard: Absolutely delightful. It's a botanical party out there--color, texture, and a level of plant health that made my houseplants feel judged. Morning coffee here feels like a mini-vacation. Rooms: Quaint, cozy, and packed with character. Not cookie-cutter; more "hand-written note." Everything felt thoughtful, not generic. And when I say "hand-written note," that is exactly what we found. There was a hand-written note on the desk welcoming us and hoping we enjoyed our stay. Noise Level: Whisper-quiet. You can actually hear your own thoughts--and they sound relaxed for once. Service (By phone): No manned office, but responsive when needed. Pros: * Gorgeous, festive courtyard * Tons of room character * Seamless contactless check-in (door code by text) * Peaceful and quiet Bottom Line: A cute, peaceful gem with real personality. Perfect for introverts, plant lovers, and anyone who prefers birdsong to background bass.
