From the second you walk in you’re greeted by the staff there. Everyone was super helpful and very nice. Room was exactly as shown in pictures. It was very clean and they also provided travel accessories you might need. Room was cleaned everyday which we loved. Breakfast was made fresh every morning. The hotel is also located downtown so it’s close to other restaurants within walking distance. I will definitely be booking again.

Great location. Staff is great. Pillows were so hard and the end of our bed would shake most nights - maybe an elevator shaft??? That said, we would stay there again.

The hotel is always clean and well maintained, but it’s the amazing Hotel Morales staff that makes each visit memorable and a pleasant. From the moment you arrive, reception desk, restaurant staff, and the “bell boys” really make you feel welcomed. Congratulations to each member of the hotel staff

My family and I love staying at Hotel Morales. The rooms are clean, updated and roomy. The food is delicious and has many options to choose from. The desk staff could be more welcoming but get their job done. The hotel is near shopping, eating and churches. I definitely recommend this place and would stay again.
