The staff was very helpful when I asked for extra bed while I arrived in last Thursday. After 2 days of departure, I found out that my daughter's pillow was forgotten in the room, and the staff replied my email quickly and we came back to pick-up. Awesome service we've got. Thank you.

We anticipated it would be a few days to get it but they were so quick to get the iPad out we had it arrive at our location before we even got there. Their recommendations for things to do in the area were great. We enjoyed our time at this motel.
