    Finding the location of the motel was easy and accessible. Excellent customer service request upon arrival, for example; myself and my collogues arrived late to our reservation, the onsite worker provided a contact number is we had any issues accessing room key or locating the room key. Which onsite/offsite worker picked up their phone to ensure we got into our room after hours.
