Retro! Very clean and quiet. It is obvious the owner takes great pride in the rooms. No breakfast...but the coffee was excellent. Smaller rooms, but everything is perfect.

Owner run, clearly cares about the upkeep and the aesthetics of this retro mid-century motel. The room was in awesome condition, it felt newly built and tidy. I had a great stay and will stay here again should I return. A great stay for a lone wanderer and caravans alike.

Rocket Motel is retro and so cute! I was doing the Lean Horse 100 mile running race and the motel was a short walk to the start line. The staff are all super nice and accommodating and I really just liked the overall vibe of the place. I stay at a lot of hotels for work and this was a nice break from the chain hotel feeling as it is locally owned , unique, and has very cool neon decor outside.
