What made this motel stand out was the customer service. Having a son in the hospital and arriving late with no warning, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Exactly what you need when you are stressed and tired. The beds were super comfy, well equipped with everything I needed and I really couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you for your care.

This is a nice place to stay. It’s is clean and comfortable. Majority of the facilities are up to (my) standards. Good kitchenette, comfortable bed, good TV, good working space with good access to PowerPoints. Room Service was daily and excellent. The water pressure in the shower was poor and the outside noise (my room was roadside) was noticeable. I didn’t much like the pillows.
