Would stay again

I stayed here for 3 nights while visiting family. Although it is a somewhat dated motel, it was clean, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. Perfectly fine for my purposes although $128 seemed a bit on the higher side considering the overall accommodations. Location is excellent, close to freeways and center of town.

We traveled for work. The property is older, but in great shape and well-maintained. Very clean. Water pressure and heat are excellent. The bed was comfortable enough. Conveniently located at the freeway entrance. And great restaurants about 10-15 min walking distance. We would recommend that stay.

The staff were outstandingly helpful and friendly, the room was very comfortable, quiet and clean. I particularly like the choice of wall artwork- cool but not aggressively gaudy:). The set-up of the room was really perfect for comfort and ease of use. Friendly with my dogs, which was important. Also, nice, safe, quiet, pleasant and convenient area.
