This property is absolutely adorable! The care, attention, and painstaking love put into this property is noticeable in all of the little details and personal touches everywhere. I adored the local coffee in the lobby as well. My husband and I had an amazing stay. My only (little) complaints were the stiffness of the mattress, and the finicky door access at night/early morning. However, the hotel lets you know about the issues with the doors, so it's on me for not requesting a physical key after checking in.

Won’t be back.

I’ve been staying here regularly for over a year on an almost monthly basis. It just gets worse and worse and I won’t be back again. The big issue is there key system. You have to download an app, upload ID. Sometimes the auto key works and sometimes it doesn’t. The link once sent me to a fishing trap that subscribed me. I have had neighbors trying to break down their own doors at 2am to the point where I was going to call the police. Currently waiting in the sun and humidity on a Sunday morning for a maintenance person to show up and let me in. No manager or help on site. I have tried to hang in there with this cute boutique motel but I’m done. Didn’t even get into the worn out towels, bad mattresses and backed up drains. They need to address these issues. Ratings are going down and you are losing regulars.

Better then expected

The room was spotlessly clean—bathroom, bed sheets, and overall space were well maintained. However, the bed was a full size rather than a queen, which made sleeping for two adults a bit cramped and uncomfortable. The mattress and pillows also left much to be desired in terms of comfort. We had difficulty accessing the room using the app and had to call for assistance, which was inconvenient. The shower had very poor water pressure, which impacted the overall experience. On the plus side, the room came equipped with an air purifier and a noise machine, which were thoughtful additions. There’s a swimming pool available, though we didn’t get a chance to use it.

We had a wonderful stay, the only issues we ran into were with other guests. There was an elderly group of about 8-10 staying and they spread themselves out over the entire pool area and were very loud and obnoxious.

Go to heck Virdee.

The hotel is an older establishment rehabbed. It was comfortable and I would stay again except for the lack of a lobby with check in and services. The hotel tells you to register with Virdee which is an app that is going to supply you a combination to a lockbox with your keys inside. The problem is with 5 couples, 3 couldn’t get the app to work. A call was made to some outside person who gave you instructions and took your credit card info over the phone. There is no one on site except a cleaning gal in the early morning if you have an issue. The rooms are comfortable, the pool is clean but the hassle is not worth it for them trying to save a buck or two.

July 4th party of 10 guests

Knew this was not the Ritz but they went overboard with technology check in that was a HUGE pain for all 5 couples checking in. Process was quite challenging and had to call multiple times even though they tried their best not to have human contact. We all got to Motel @ 3 for check in and ALL had issues getting into our rooms. Finally got our digital key on our cell and then given code to get our hard physical keys with a rep on the phone. Physical keys were a joke and never worked. Had to constantly pass phone to wife to access room if we went anywhere or wait for one another. It's not like we are tech challenged as 6 of 10 are engineers and all 10 tech savvy. Don't expect to take a warm/hot shower as water was never warm and forget hot. I realize they are cutting cost by not having a front desk but don't want to experience this lack of service at the price we paid for another motel..... This was an old fashion MOTEL from the 50's at best and not a newer Hotel but was renovated within last 5-10 years. Not somewhere I would want to stay again.

The property was fantastic! You check in through an app and it gives you your room and key through your phone. There is someone available to give you a physical key but we never needed one. The room was clean and super conveniently located. We ran out of toilet paper one time and all you have to do is text, and they will bring whatever you need right over! Fantastic for a girls trip!

This was my second stay here in 6 months and I love it here!! It is so clean, beds are comfortable, amenities are great and location is perfect. There is no front desk staff, but there is someone who texts you throughout your stay to make sure you don't need anything, and this works perfectly. Highly recommend The Local

Had a great experience at The Local - came to town for a friends birthday in the area and found this location to be super convenient to everything. Check in was easy and the team was quick to respond/resolve issues. I would definitely go back again!

Nice, clean motel, def loud with the street/car noise they provide ear plugs. Pool was cute and clean. The app to open the door did not work and they were prepared for it so don’t waste too much time trying it and call the “front desk” ( on the app) they will give u a code for a card key- no one in premises just online people- but very nice place.
