Pete reached out to us proactively at check-in and helped us get settled in. The building and room are dated, but it was comfortable and accommodated our party of 5. It was convenient to restaurants and shopping.

Neu renoviertes kleines Motel. Große Zimmer mit einer vollen Küche. Super zentral gelegen und man könnte direkt davor parken. Wir hatten den code nicht per Mail bekommen, aber ein kurzer Anruf und schon könnten wir ins Zimmer.
