Super friendly.!

Late arrival due to flight times. Complex key retrieval process due to the need to make a phone call and then use 1 of 2 safes. In the morning all of the team we dealt with were exceptional, offering us breakfast options near the hotel. Would stay there again, without question.

Motel was good but very disappointed that we were not informed before arriving that there was major building work in progress and the pool was filled in. We booked this Motel months ago and one the reasons we booked it was because it advertised a pool. We would of cancelled and booked elsewhere if we had been informed.
