One night family stay.
Minor inconveniences with cleanliness and staff (who were very friendly when you could find them) kept me from leaving full 5 stars. That being said, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely sleep here again.

This motel was a hidden gem!! We stayed in a suite… wonderful roomy accommodation. The pool wasn’t opened the first day we were there so the manager sent us to a sister hotel to swim. The problem was quickly fixed… so the 3 little boys had a wonderful time playing in the pool! Nice places to sit outside. Lots of flowers and hummingbirds. We even saw a roadrunner on the hotel grounds… what an exciting treat! The motel is in proximity to old town…also a plus. Very helpful staff, especially the manager on duty!! Thank you for an enjoyable stay! Really a relaxing place to stay!

The entire experience was amazing. The only issue we had was that the pool was temporarily closed when we got there, but they have a sister property so they gave us free day passes to swim over there. Staff and management were amazing.
