Pourquoi les gens l'adorent

- Infinity mineral pool overlooking lush dairy cow pastures
- Contactless smart-lock check-in means zero front desk awkwardness
En bref : A beautifully renovated 1950s motel that trades traditional hotel service for high-design DIY independence.
Évalué par @sarahhdoyle: I took my best friends here for a weekend and we were obsessed with the retro Palm Springs vibe. We spent all day by the pool sipping champagne and then walked into town for the famous donuts. It’s the cutest spot for a girls' getaway.

5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The 'rooftop' pool is actually more of an elevated deck overlooking a cow paddock.
💡The orange doors are iconic but the walls between rooms are original 1950s brick—sound travels.
💡You might wake up to cows staring at you from the field behind the hotel.
💡There is no daily housekeeping unless requested (and potentially paid for).
💡The 'minibar' is often just a few local treats, not a fully stocked fridge.
