The location was perfect! So close to all of the trails and wild flowers. You can see the Milky Way just by stepping out of your room. The bed is super comfy and the shower very hot. Couldn’t ask for a better motel.
Loved the location, loved the room, comfortable bed, loved the bright bed quilt. Innkeeper was available, pleasant, helpful. Little library well stocked, just a wonderful place to be. Would definitely love to stay here again
Small motel; clean and quiet. Love the location. Pool and outdoor sitting area. Used the fire pit one evening - was perfect.
Highly recommend for the price.
Clean, easy check-in & out, friendly, quiet. Robin is an excellent host. The new landscaping and outdoor amenities (gazebo with grill, firepit, pool with comfortable lounge chairs) elevated the experience. I would love to stay again.
Very clean and minimalist, with a nice pool, bbq area, and lovely firepit area with seating. Air conditioned, microwave, coffee, complimentary sparkling water and protein bars. Very welcoming, and Robin is a doll.
We have stayed here in the past but it's being improved, upgraded flooring and very nice clubhouse with a mountain view. Nice extras like power bars and sparkling water in the refrig. Also nice is the cabinet outside room 4 & 5 that stocks items you might have forgotten like sunblock, razor, etc.
Playing in a three day tourney at Ram’s Hill Golf Club (phenomenal course) and wanted an inexpensive place to stay by myself. Loved this motel near Christmas Circle, the restaurants, and the local desert art collection. Fast service from the hotel staff! Clean, great WiFi (bring a tablet as there is no TV). Nice fridge and microwave. Definitely would stay here again. Thanks!
Good pizza at Calico’s if you want to bring something back to the room!
The room was extremely clean and the little hotel is a perfect nostalgic 1950s roadside motel. There was a fire ring out front that we took advantage of on New Year’s Eve and enjoyed ourselves surrounding a nice bonfire with friends. They only issue I had with the place was the beds are hard as a rock. Apparently they are memory foam, but they are extremely firm memory foam. The place was awesome though, and we will be staying there again!
