Overall the place was nice. The breakfast was a plus. Maybe it's just me but paying almost $300 for a motel is very high. Where I live the average hotel rate is about $125.

Fine
This motel was clean and not terribly uncomfortable. But it was also dated and not particularly comfortable either. Given the price compared to other SB options. It was fine; and I would stay again under these same price conditions

Hotel is a bit dated and run down but was otherwise clean and comfortable. A/C in our room leaked water into the carpet immediately underneath the wall unit. It also ran constantly despite the room getting to below the desired temperature. Not a big deal given the temperatures while we stayed here, but could be an issue at other times of the year. Breakfast and pool were both good. Surrounding area also had a number of restaurants in a very short walk. Would recommend Sun Sushi (if you can get a table).

The customer service was outstanding, and the room was very clean. I was pleased with the housekeeping service, i was especially surprised how quickly I received the extra wash towels I asked for. Thank you continue providing excellent service.
