Bed was a little firm, but there were so many unique touches to make this stay special, including the breakfast bag that I snacked on the whole next day. So retro it feels like a film set! Shonda at the front desk is fantastic. Easy check in and check out.

The Sunset is a mid-century treasure that will leave you nostalgic. They’ve done a great job bringing in modern conveniences, like TV, coffee, microwave and fridge, but still keeping the retro vibe with decor and furnishings. It’s also pet friendly ($15), and has a specific pet walk area. There’s an outdoor bbq area. We heard there was an award winning brewery around the corner, but it closes at 5, so we can’t vouch for that.

Best roadside motel ever!!! Clean, quiet, and safe! The carpet on our room look like it was starting to need replacing. Hopefully the owners can continue to invest in this gem for future generations to enjoy. Our 2nd time here and will stay again next time through

The host who checked us in was super friendly and helpful. Made good suggestions for dinner. Room was nostalgic but neat and clean (with a REAL key!) To go breakfast pastries were delicious. Loved the office cat. (Did NOT love someone’s barking dog in the middle of the night…)

Sunset Motel was a step back in time. The owner has exceptional customer service—during check-in and check-out. Homemade pastries for breakfast were delicious. Although somewhat outdated, the room was clean, bed was comfortable. The carpet could stand a good shampoo cleaning. Some plugs near the beds for charging phones and other electronics would also be nice. We would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again if we are ever in the area.
