A very clean and comfortable stay with fun decor, a good bed and shower, plenty of space and super easy parking. The hotel is in a neighborhood and you can definitely hear some road noise but it did not bother us too much. Free coffee and pastries are pretty basic, nothing special. I’d skip it in favor of far better options in town.

They did a great job upscaling what was formerly a motel, while keeping its character. Bed was comfy and warm! Great place to stay if you have pets.

Nicely outfitted rooms, central lawn area, pleasant lounge area, gracious staff. Nice that it dog friendly. Challenge: mattresses soft on edges so usable surface smaller than size; dog space outside smaller than expected, long narrow run.

The Heliotrope was a great small motel. Pretty close to the center of town. Not really walking distance, but a bike would be perfect. Friendly staff. Close to RR tracks but they provide earplugs. I didn't even hear the train but, my partner did. All and all a really nice spot at a good price.
