I had a great time at this motel! The location was incredible, just steps away from vibrant bars and restaurants, making it easy to enjoy the nightlife. The beds were super comfortable, and I really appreciated the cleanliness throughout my stay. The unique vibe of the place added to the fun atmosphere. However, I wish there were more dining options on-site, and while the room decor was quirky, the space felt a bit on the smaller side for the price I paid.
