This motel was fabulous. We decided to escape the rain and our camper for the night. The room was cheerful and clean. The kitchenette was well stocked and we didn’t need any supplies from our camper. They even gave us a carton of milk for our hot chocolates. Washing laundry was free and the dryer was the standard 4$. We never heard a peep all night. Would definitely recommend this location!

Super clean room and bedding with comfortable furnishings. Extra friendly and helpful staff. Our room (13) had a large patio door that lead on to a courtyard with picnic table. Very quiet motel. Great location on bus line that ran every 10 minutes to center of city and every 1/2 hr to airport. 5 minute bus ride or 15 minute walk to lovely fashion mall. Easy check -in and they held our bags at no charge while we explored before heading to the airport later in the afternoon. Enjoyed our stay!
