This is an older motel that has been completely overhauled and rejuvenated successfully. Room was spotless. Very comfortable bed. Bathroom was sparkling. Plenty of convenient, safe parking. The staff was friendly and extremely accommodating to one special need that we had. And the price was reasonable. More businesses, and specifically hotels, should be run this well.

Very nice rooms and even had a small frig which wasn't listed in amenities. It was quiet and really liked it being one level, no walking noises from multistory hotel rooms. I would add a shower mat for us elder folks not to slip in shower.
