Kimberly and Jessica Cortez made my birthday stay an awesome experience!! Highly recommend paying them a visit. I also tried the restaurant Ahh Stir Fry within the El Vado community and they were delish. The rooms were clean. No complaints. Def worth a visit even if not staying.

Just checked in, and really like the vibe of this place. First, Kimberly at the front desk was terrific and accommodating, changing our room after check in to a better view. It wasn’t easy for her to do so really appreciated that. The courtyard of the motel is a fantastic place to hang out to enjoy a drink from the tap room and a snack from one of the local food pods. Live music on this Saturday night was a great bonus to enjoy as well. ||The room was well appointed. We had a “suite”, named the Auburn. Separated bedroom from the living area, so nice arrangement. Plenty of storage for clothes for those that like to unpack. Definitely an older but updated facility with a nice vibe to it. Bartender at the tap room was very nice, nothing bad to say about the whole experience. ||If you’re

Positive: It was clean Negative: The parking was so far away and no karts. The room was so small. The electrical outlets did not work by the bed.

We arrived weary after 10 hour drive. Check in was prompt and room with king sized bed was very affordable and met all our needs. Cool merch available to buy in the lobby with 24 hr hot drinks available! Bonus was a free beer at their tap room while listening to a live musician !! The outside courtyard is lovely! In warmer weather I’m sure it would be perfect place to chill and enjoy the quirky surroundings! Pool was closed but I’m betting it’s a great addition to one’s stay !

This was a wonderful place to stay, and I also recommend it as wedding venue. The ambiance was charming, and there are good food options on-site. Our room was very comfortable - all rooms and gathering spaces are also located behind a keyed gate for security. The size and layout made it easy to travel between the wedding spaces and our rooms during the party, and there were lots of hangout spaces for smaller groups to catch up. The staff were incredibly generous and helpful - one of them went above and beyond by bringing in her personal garment steamer so we could use it for our clothes! The staff were also were responsive and helpful when someone uninvited tried to get into the wedding. The motel is near tourist attractions that are family-friendly. It's on a busy road, but the rooms were
