This absolutely is the cleanest and best maintained motel we have stayed in that also has pet friendly rooms. The staff at check-in, even late at night, are extremely friendly, price is decent, parking good, and overall area and motel are great. They even have a dog bed in the pet friendly rooms. Additionally, there is a middle and elementry school a few blocks away where you can walk your dogs. Overall, we had a great experience and stay here, and if you need somewhere nice to stay in this area, definitely stay here.
