All of the staff were kind, efficient and helpful. They were able to accommodate my late arrival and even upgraded my room to a suite which was spacious and sparkling clean. It would be ideal for a family Also my room out of view of greenery which was very nice The bed was comfortable. There were plenty of towels and amenities and the location is so convenient to everywhere right off the highway. Plus there's good food That's easy to get to and open 24 hours. It would be a pleasure for me to have the opportunity to spend more time in the golden land with my new home away from home

    All we wanted was a room so we didn't have to make a drive home from a wedding late at night. This was perfect! The price was extremely reasonable for the area. The whole motel was immaculate and the staff was so nice.

    In all my years, I have never had a motel call me the day of the booking and ask me if I am on the way and will I be here early because my room will be ready for us. Excellent communication...and the breakfast muffins were great!
