This hotel far exceeded my expectations in every way! Clean and beautiful, with extremely comfortable beds and linens and a great shower, too. The staff was friendly and helpful and even comped our parking, which was an unexpected surprise. Honestly, everything was perfect!

While the size of the hotel meant it lacked the personal touch, the facilities were great as was the location. The bathroom shampoo / conditioner / shower gels were really nice!!

The website does not match the actual amenities at Motel
Pool and spa are old and smaller than web shows
Bar was small but nice service restaurants actually across street at Sheraton that needs mention on website to get true amenities on property
