Exceeded Expectations!

Fantastic property, room, and hospitality! It felt more like we were guests staying at someone's house or b&b. Extremely convenient location to St Clement's Castle, lots of parking, views of river. Clean lobby and hallway. Employee felt more like a hostess, genuinely wanting us to have a great stay! Clean and renovated room had ample space and was very tastefully decorated. Great bathroom and shower.

The room was large. Everything looked brand new. Felt like a high end hotel. Shower had a rain forest showerhead. The coffee maker was an actual drip coffee maker. Staff was very friendly. The price was very reasonable! Whenever I’m in town, I will stay there again.

Staff is very attentive and anxious to be of service.I stay with Solano whenever I’m in the area to visit family. Motel is a little short on amenities. For example, soap is about the size of a quarter and not much thicker.

Great price-great stay

We were pleasantly surprised at the size and cleanliness of the room. I had to ask for a blow dryer but one was readily available. Only slightly worth mentioning: The curtains were sheer and let in a lot of light. Great price-great stay.
