The room was clean and up to date. The motel is across the freeway from the old-town sites that one might want to visit, but there is a good walkway, and it's a short walk.

The staff was very helpful when I asked for certain services. They were very accommodating to my dog. They provided a good breakfast each day. The check-in and check out were very easy and quick. There was always plenty of parking even with the renovations going on. Hopefully they will get the spa repaired soon.
