Room was clean and large and the continental breakfast was very good. A great location within walking distance to everything. The only negative was a very firm bed that may suit some but not everyone.

I received assistance with my luggage as I had to go down to the lower level. That is rather rare for a motel I had to leave early morning so I had pre-ordered a breakfast box. It was already in my room when I checked-in. Room was clean. No frills but it does the trick

This hotel was in a great location, just a few minutes walking distance to the main strip and the grocery store. There is a short walking trail close by where you can see glow worms in the wild. Reception will even lend you a flashlight! I would happily stay here again.
