Checking in was easy and was painless with our wonderful concierge. The room was cozy, to the point, but extremely clean and comfortable. Booked at first mainly because it was one of the most affordable options in SB, and was delighted by the cute atmosphere, and great service. The parking lot was small, but I was always able to find a spot. In walking distance to a lot of different stores, too!

Clean rooms. Decent bed. Nice mural decor. Quick friendly checkin. Easy parking. Definitely hear traffic noise along a busy street even through the night. It wasn't terrible to me, but if you are particularly sensitive that could be problematic.

The room was clean and tidy. The bed was perfect. Unfortunately, I had no idea that the nice motel was on a very busy street. I live in the quiet countryside. I was unable to get a good nights sleep.
