The hotel itself is a dated 50s style hotel. The rooms are very dated with TV trays for sink space in the bathroom. They are clean and cute with a radio from the 50s.

This RoadRunner motel was true to its 1950 intended vibe. Thus: no refrigerator or microwave. Safe, though I might look elsewhere next time. I did not see others more promising.
