Better than expected for the money. One of the cleanest motels I’ve ever stayed in. Very well kept. Staff was attentive, responsive, professional, and courteous from check-in to check out.
My favorite place to stay, great staff & great location to get to restaurants, local attractions & entertainment. Will definitely stay here every time we visit.
