When I got to the property I was greet with "there is a problem with you booking". The owner was new and was unaware that the motel appeared on the Expedia site. The owner was gracious and did all she could to provide accommodation for the night, although the accommodation was inferior to the accommodation I had booked on Expedia. This seems to be more an Expedia problem than a problem with the proprietors of the motel. The proprietor did all she could in circumstances to help, for which I am grateful.

Easy walking access to the river walk, shopping, restaurants. The motel is older so not to expect modern decor, but clean large, comfortable room. Comfortable bed. Smallish bathroom, but you don't live in a bathroom. A good choice for accommodation in a beautiful town.

I thought it was the best stay I have had in years. Felt like home. Friendly staff, clean, comfortable, super convenient. Comfortable bed. Then there was the shower, no ‘water saver’, can’t get wet here. It was just the best. Only problem I had was that I had to leave the next day. I’ll be baaack!
