Cute, hip, and convenient place to stay.
Pros:

I thought this motel was so cute! I loved the interior and bonus that they serve espresso coffee drinks at the lobby. It was wonderful checking out and having coffee to-go. We also enjoyed across the check-in office, food and drinks. We went to the Latin Flavor as take out. The arepas and hamburgers were delicious!! Everything was so convenient. Also was down the block to a delicious breakfast place that the front desk recommended.

Pros:

Loved this the frig with a freezer that was separate. This assured that my freezer blocks were kept frozen. Love the retro decor and good restoration of the facility. Would have been nice to have continental breakfast or coffee in the room

Cons:

Would have liked continental breakfast or coffee in our room. Coffee at the coffee bar was good & appreciated
