    firm mattress

    Our stay felt like stepping back into a classic era with its charming retro decor, and we really appreciated the clean, quirky vibe of the room. We enjoyed unwinding by the pool and listening to the live music in the evenings. The only small downside was the firm mattress, but it didn’t take away from the overall cozy experience – definitely a must-visit for nostalgia lovers! 🎶

    sound carrying walls

    Had a fantastic time with my friends at this retro-style motel! The room was clean, comfy beds, and the diner area with coffee available was perfect for us. Great location for exploring the area!

    One downside was the sound carrying through the walls, so we could hear our neighbors at times. A bit distracting but didn’t ruin our experience.

    nostalgic touch
    comfy beds
    good location
    noise from neighbors

    I loved The Holiday Music Motel. The retro decor brought back so many memories. The room was clean, and the beds were super comfy. Enjoyed the little breakfast nook with coffee available all day, perfect for early risers. Staff is friendly and welcoming. The motel's location is ideal, just a block from the main street with all the shops and restaurants. Some sounds carried through the walls, so I could hear my neighbor's shower and conversations at times, which was a bit distracting. Still, it didn’t overshadow the nice overall vibe. The old-fashioned keys added a nostalgic touch, and I appreciated the attention to detail with local artwork around. Definitely a unique place to stay that felt like home.
