The owner was incredibly kind, and you could truly feel the pride he takes in his motel. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, even having the room ready before our arrival with extra towels and a cozy, warm room. The motel itself was spotless, and we absolutely loved the retro vibes. It added so much charm to our stay and made the experience feel special. This place was truly lovely and left such a positive impression on us. I would wholeheartedly recommend this motel to anyone passing through, visiting or on vacation! It is definitely a place you do not want to miss!!! Thank you so much for the amazing hospitality and for such a wonderful experience. We genuinely enjoyed every moment of our stay.

This is our 4th summer to stay her and we love it! Clean and spacious rooms with all the amenities and Rocky is the BEST! Prices are wonderful and the whole experience was relaxing and peaceful. It’s close to the track, truck stop casino and easy to shopping! Best of all worlds.
Rocky is the best host and best service. Everything was perfect and it was snowing crazy he was always checking everything! He cleared the snow for everyone to get out of the parking lot ! We will always come back thank you Rocky EP South Coast Audio crew
This adorable motel was so comfortable, clean,and felt like home. Rocky the owner is a friendly,Happy host!! It beats any commercial hotel. Built in 1950's still has original fixtures. Our getaway from now on
Great place to stay! Rooms are clean and comfortable. Staff is very friendly. Love the old motor court vibe. Will definitely stay again.
I found this great little motel on Google. Read all the reviews and when we got to town, stopped in a few shops to look around and asked them what they knew about this motel. They were all very positive and so we went and booked a room for the night. Very clean, comfortable bed and nice bathroom. We sat on the front porch and visited with other guest that were staying. We will most certainly be staying here again.
This laid-back motel dating from the early 1950s is off US Route 70 and 3 miles from the Billy the Kid Casino.
