One of the cleanest properties I’ve ever stayed in the cleaners here do an exceptional job. The communal kitchen and laundry is a great asset to this place only negative I would have is the knives were very blunt. Overall I was extremely happy with this place :)

As far as motels go, this place is FABULOUS! The designer-owner has thought of everything. The hairdryer, kettle, toaster, pillow, everything, was really high quality. She's a smart lady. I'm a fan. Thanks to Jack, Cindy and Sharn, it's a great stay.
