"Clean motel friendly staff"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
The motel is very clean. My son and I have very bad asthma and when I booked the room the reservations clerk requested the room to be allergy free. It was not allergy free because they did not take out the feather pillows and I had a bad asthma attack. I had a to go through all my pillows and my sons pillow and carry them down and exchange them. Kureneesha was the attendant that night and she was very kind when she checked us in. Very professional. She took great care of us and switched the pillows out. She apologized for what happened. I recommend this motel.

      "Kudos to Jackie, and many thanks to your service. I never would have known about that particular hotel, and even if I eventually did find it, it would have taken me days to accomplish what I did in 15 minutes with you. Now our entire group can look forward to a care-free stay at the perfect rate at the perfect location. I've never been this organized this far in advance of an event, so thanks for making me look good!" K.S. - Vancouver, WA
