First Timer LOVED it

It was my first stay at Motto and I was very pleased. It was spotless as well as well laid out. And I liked the intimacy of the public areas. Even with multiple bars and restaurants, everything felt warm and welcoming. And I want to give the woman behind the desk at check in at 10:30 Sunday night a great review for her friendliness.

Hotel check in was quick and easy, parking lot is opposite to hotel. Nice clean rooms, little smaller but that maybe due to downtown.onsite cafe has good coffee and breakfast. Not able to eat at onsite restaurants as they were close on Sunday.
