Absolutely wonderful place to visit! The theme rooms are so fun - makes us want to see them all. The staff are great - check in was a breeze and the daily coffee was terrific. Very close to the beach, and all those lovely wineries. We truly enjoyed our stay and plan to return.

Loved this motel! It was super clean and the room was so cute. It was walking distance to the lake and a short drive to wineries. I traveled with my fur baby and they treated her so nice. Overall a great motel and I will definitely be staying again.
This property is very unique with the retro vibe and themed rooms. We enjoyed our fun stay in the comedian room and look forward to going back to try another themed room. Walking distance to a few dining options and within minutes driving distance to wineries and breweries in the region. Staff were very welcoming and nice and we look forward to visiting again.

The room was uniquely decorated in circus motif which was fun; but mostly it was clean, well appointed, comfortable and quiet. The adjoining JOE coffee shop was a handy extra to the whole experience and we look forward to another visit in the near future.

Funky vintage inspired decor and top level comfort combine. I wanted to unplug myself from my life for 24 hours and got exactly this with a mini road trip and a stellar stay in the Hop On the Orient Express room. Plush, quiet sleep on a lovely mattress and a hot shower in the morning, plus the amazing coffee at Joe — highest rating
