Stayed one night at this very charming motel. Renovated in retro style by the owners of nearby Mother Earth Brewery. It’s like an oasis in the middle of downtown complete with palm trees and sparkling pool. There’s also a full mini-golf course. We got the double suite and it was huge; over 1000 square feet. This motel is a destination in itself. Staff were amazing as well.
