This is a classic American motel. It was an absolute bargain and exactly what we needed for an overweight stop. A clean and convenient place to sleep and shower, with shops and restaurants close by for dinner and breakfast. There was also a little kitchenette and coffee provided in the room which was a welcome change after Vegas, where you get nothing for free!
