The rooms are just OK but I got the distinct impression that cleanliness is not one of their strong suits. Space Age stuff aside it is very basic motel with a very ordinary restaurant. I think the "Space Age" gimmick which is really no more than a couple of photos and some Disney like space stuff allows them to charge a bit more than average.

If only the food and service were more notable.
