I booked a room at very short notice as travel plans changed. I received a text shortly after, thanking me for my booking and asking what time I was arriving (it was already after 7pm) and if I needed anything. Room was warm (heater on) and welcoming. Thank you

Our one night stay was in the Queen apartment which had a separate bedroom. The reception staff were very friendly. The beds are comfortable and linen good quality. The double glazing meant traffic noise wasn't an issue. I would definitely stay here again. My only negative is that there are no shower caps and the shower is above and strong, so you gotta get your hair wet.

Room was spotless and clean. Being on Motel Row, some nearby hotels are sketchy. The owners seemed like they ran a tight ship. Didn’t see any questionable clientele here. Good value. I had the larger room with kitchen and hot tub.
