We have been staying at this motel several times a year for almost 15 years. It's an old style open court motel from the 60's, but has been well maintained and upgraded. The breakfast is pretty basic, but unlike many motel breakfast bars is actually edible and quite tasty, the coffee is good, and there is a good variety of choices. The staff are friendly and helpful, and it is pet friendly.
