HIP & HOMEY

Briarcliff is an authentic 1960’s motel which has been transformed into a contemporary, stylish motor lodge for the 21st century traveler. Complete with a roaring pellet stove in the lobby common area, a daily rustic continental breakfast and an outdoor firepit which brings families, friends and strangers together, Briarcliff harkens the return of the great American family road trip.
