Diamond just shining among the big guys!

We used this motel as other hotels we normally use were booked for a convention. I was nervous to stay here as it is not a “chain” and traveling with a medically fragile child for an appointment to Stanford I like knowing what I am coming into. When we pulled in to the motel the two disability parking spots were full so I parked as close to office as possible, Eric came out of office and asked me if he could help seeing it was a tight squeeze for my wheelchair van. He brought me my room key to my van and even changed our room to the disability room which we did not reserve. Then asked if he could help carry our bags to the room. Service was 5 stars! I was shocked by this little diamond tucked in among the big buildings. Room neat clean comfortable, had fridge, microwave, two bottles of water and even two mints on the night stand! I liked that it had a booklet with information of surrounding area and the tv channels!! It listed it had a grab and go breakfast, but I didn’t get it so just mentioning it. The two things I will mention as cons are. If you do use a wheelchair all the rooms except disability room have a small 6? Inch step getting into room on first floor. And the disability room has carpet which is harder for wheelchairs. Other than that, shout out to Eric for being so polite and attentive!
