This was the 3rd time we've stayed here. We moved to Tennessee from Palm Springs, Ca. When we found out that this hotel was inspired by Palm Springs, we had to book it, we love this place, our stay was fantastic, food was wonderful, and the drinks were terrific. The only thing that would make it more amazing would be if it was an adult only destination.

We really enjoyed the retro look of the motel! The lobby and restaurant are amazing! Our room was very comfortable and I loved the bathroom and shower. We had our breakfast in the restaurant there and our server, Michele, was awesome. She was so very friendly and accommodating! We enjoyed our breakfast, which was so much better than the continental breakfasts you get at other hotels! We checked out the pool and surrounding pool deck. It was really cool! Loved the look. We hope to go back for a longer visit sometime.

No microwave, no clock of any sort and at check out I wasn't asked if I had a good stay. Won't go back.

Okay hotel. Great location.
It was an okay Hotel with an amazing location.
It wasn’t bad but the website is better than the actual hotel again clean, okay breakfast, just expecting more of a High end experience I guess.
Would I stay here again? Yes but just because the location not necessarily because the hotel.

Everything was excellent. Only 1 complaint. We got to breakfast at 7am and didnt get our food until 7:45 my son and husbands food was cold. Not sure what happened there. Otherwise the food was really good. I got the avocado toast and they got bacon and eggs. My husband's bacon was so overcooked that it crumbled to the touch. Like it was made the day before. We were one of the first families their. So again not sure what took so long and how their food wasn't fresh.

Not so good!
When arriving to our joining rooms, the floors were not clean. Window had lip and hand prints where it had not been cleaned. No remote to the TV. Refrigerator would not close. Something sticky in the floor by the refrigerator. Bed Bug covers were not on our beds, but in our joining room there were bed bug covers. Night stand in one of our rooms was completely off the wall. Baseboards had lots of built up dust. Light switch for lamp would not turn the light off. Ceiling in the room was peeling. I actually had our room cleaned again. My daughter and her families room I actually cleaned myself. I shouldn’t have but I did. Staff were not friendly, breakfast was just ok. No vending machines, and no microwave. The best was the pool and Elvis tribute night. Young man who performed Elvis did a great job. I do not plan to stay here again. I was so excited since I like the retro look, but the motel yes motel was a let down.
