Stay was good but it would have been most helpful to have a handicapped room on the first floor or a room not so far from the elevators.

Motel was excellent as well as the breakfast. Our only complaint is that someone unplugged the refrigerator and there was a very wet carpet in front of the refrigerator that we got wet before we realized that the carpet was wet. Told the front staff and they said that we could move the next day but decided to stay in our room and we were careful not to walk on the carpet.

Excellent stay

The front desk employee was exceptionally kind and professional. He greeted us warmly and seemed genuine in serving us. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Complimentary bottled water and 24/7 coffee and tea was a nice perk. The hotel was also in a convenient location - just down the road from several restaurants and shopping areas. This place exceeded our expectations, especially for the price.
