We really liked this hotel. It is very near the Plaza. Very quiet, and a nice room. It is build like an old "Motor Court" so we parked right in front of our room, so it was easy to bring in the suitcases.

Liked: Cleanliness
The rooms are fine but this is an older motel that has been updated, meaning the ceilings are lower and the bathrooms are small. I also wasn't a fan of the full length window that everyone can look in so we kept the curtains closed. I'm not sure why they charge guests a parking fee. The front desk staff are OK.

Location great! Rooms small. Pillows uncomfortable. Staff wonderful. And having to pay for parking each night in the huge mostly empty parking lot was an exploitation of the guests.
