The hotel is nice and clean. I love that the bathroom has Dove products for showering and shampoo. The only improvement that I would suggest is to provide an area for an ice bucket.

The motel was really nice. The staff was outstanding. The breakfast was pretty good, the gym was adequate. The only problem was the Vehicle noise was very excessive up until about 11:30 to midnight. But that is no way of reflection upon the staff or the motel itself!
