Was so glad when we arrived and no one was available but manager had message on mailbox on how to contact them. Made the phone call and someone came immediately. Was relieved with outcome, cause I didn't have a working cellphone with me. Thank you.

The place was quiet, clean and comfortable. Actually, great overall, the only negative thing I could complain about was the very strong smell of cleaners in the room. We had to open the windows and turn the a/c on for a few hours before the smell was actually bearable to stay in the room. This is not good when you are allergic to scents!! We would definitely stay again, but would ask to view the room beforehand to make sure there was no strong smell of cleaners.

The man running the motel was very helpful and kind. Room and bathroom were very clean and bed was comfortable. Parking right in front of our room so that was convenient. We would definitely stay here again!
