The front desk gentleman was so helpful and responsive to any requests. He came out to the room to bring us a remote control and he installed it and everything. The room was comfortable. It had lots of chairs and a desk. A microwave and a mini fridge which hotels here often don't. The pool was clean and welcoming. Lots of parking Good Chinese food across the street and other restaurants.

Maybe bring an extra blanket if you stay here. They are kind of thin.

Very clean and spacious rooms Lovely roses by the beautiful pool Staff friendly and helpful good location for my needs Quiet and easy to find

Too much pavement and it would be nice to have some trees and landscaping A car parked under the entrance the entire 4 nights of our stay. The shower/tub was a little worn but clean. Took a long time to get hot water to the shower - wasting water (that could go to landscaping...)

Very friendly staff which is so nice after long hours on the road and check in is a breeze! Beds are comfortable, the location is ideal, it's pretty much close to everything a person needs. Thank you to all of the employees and owners you're awesome!

Best price. Surprisingly comfy bed. Spacious room. Quiet and ample parking. We stayed at a number of motels in the area, and for the price it was the best.

Bath room is small, and could have newer bedding

room was large and tv worked well.

no real blankets for the bed. just a sheet and super thin blanket. luckily I had my own fleece blanket in the car I could use. I think they want you to have the heater on but that is inefficient and way too loud to sleep through.

Location. Can walk to several restraunts , laundromat, a drive thru coffee kiosk. Important as the motel has none of these on site. I wish the pool had some chairs, umbrellas, maybe a life buoy.

Hot tub would be nice.
