Comfortable has a covered pool and easy
Great value for the money. The pool wasn't super warm but definitely swimmable in February. Room had everything needed and was modern and comfortable. Don't usually stay at motels but was very happy and satisfied (booked because of pool)

It lives up to their 9.0+ rating!
It was the first time I had stayed in a motel in a while. SInce traveling without my spouse and kids, I figured to "rough" it with a 2 star below $100/night. This property was rated at 9.0 so I was hoping for something tolerable. Check-in was an ease, plenty of parking near my room, and the place was very clean and updated. It met the 9.0 rating, a very good stay if just traveling through solo or with a family. I am very pleased and would stay here again.

Toddler above us running all day long!!
The people upstairs had a toddler & they let him run back & forth all day long. I didn’t complain because I’m not a jerk & would never complain about a toddler being a toddler. The parents should have had more common sense. As a parent of young adults now, when they were toddlers I would not let them be a nuisance to other guests. We would have asked for a bottom floor room. One of my daughters is DEAF & she couldn’t even take a nap!! It was actually ridiculous how much they let him run back & forth. Seriously even my DEAF DAUGHTER couldn’t nap!! Other family & friends were there. All together we had about 7 or 8 rooms. It was great otherwise if we were not in our rooms. We will probably be back but will ask about if there will be toddlers above us next time. Thanks for your time.

Great and responsive service
We stay in the family suite with 3 beds over the weekend. It was a pleasant stay. The staffs were really friendly and responsive. The room was clean. The bed was not as comfortable as I liked because it was too firm for me. Overall it was a great place to stay for the price. Best of all was after we have made it home and realized that my boys have left some of their things behind. I called and talked to the manager on duty and she verified that my items were there. She guided me on how to email a prepaid postage label to them and my items were sent back the next day. Thank you so much!!!
