My second time at the Racoon Motel to see Flatfoot 56 preform. Love the unique decor. The bartender was very helpful in fixing me something sweet and not too strong, because I'm a lightweight. Lol I was celebrating my 65th birthday there with my son. I had a great time and met some great people! ❤️

Great concert and event venue!!! I love the drinks, reasonably priced and delicious. I wish they had more than two cocktails, would be awesome to have more variety. Everyone was super friendly, will be coming back for more events.

The Legendary Raccoon Motel did not disappoint! We stayed in the one bedroom one bath, but this place is a whole condo, not anything like a studio at first glance. The living room is so spacious, everything is so new and clean, I would literally eat a fried egg off the floor. Fully equipped kitchen, bath, laundry on site, all clean and new as well. The location though... PRIME. The best food and drink Davenport has to offer? Numerous locations right down the road. Across the street even. Looking for a nightcap? Just head downstairs! There's even a stage downstairs so entertainment is on site as well. I couldn't find anything bad about this place. No complaints or criticisms. These guys are doing it right, like a full service package. Will stay here again for sure.
