Such a lovely motel!

The Groovy Nomad is by far my favorite roadside motel. It has been lovingly remodeled with attention to detail. We stayed in the Sci-Fi room. I can’t wait express how satisfying it was to check-in online and gain access to this incredibly clean and comforting room. There were absolutely no issues. I would absolutely stay there again!
