It was homey, hilarious, and even though I probably wouldn’t ever get a pink leather banquet for my personal home I loved every single one that I saw. You can tell that every single thing that was put into the experience was thought out and had a reason!! I wish I was as brave with my home as the Madonna family was and is with this motel."
