"The motel room was extremely clean, and the bed was comfortable. Great towels. Breakfast was tasty, and the coffee was perfect.2016-06-14"
"Excellent value. The motel had been fully renovated, including my room, and it was a job well done. The continental breakfast was a little underwhelming and didn't have eggs or meat.2016-04-29"
"The motel was supposedly smoke-free, but my room reeked of cigarettes. I could hardly sleep. The front desk clerk said no other rooms were available. Breakfast wasn't ready on time and was meager. The "juice" was flavored water, and there was nothing to eat but cold cereal. Awful place; don't stay here.2016-04-06"

"Close to restaurants and stores, and the rates were reasonable. The hotel was clean. The room was spacious and fresh and had newer paint and curtains and a comfortable bed and linens; I had a restful sleep. Nice TV. Breakfast was good and had variety. Normally only service dogs are permitted, but because of the wildfire, our dogs were allowed to stay with us. I'd stay here again.2017-12-12"
