"We experienced cordial, helpful and prompt service from staff."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
We were only in town for less than 24 hours however the staff made our stay very enjoyable and comfortable. We asked for an earlier check in as the event we were attending started earlier in the day. I talked to Shauna on the phone and she was very helpful in making that accommodation for us. The next morning we needed to leave early and we accidently left our house keys in the motel room. We called from home and Sherri was very helpful and said they could be mailed back to us. Sherri had also helped us learn to navigate the TV remote when we were there. Thank you again to Shauna and Sherri! Ed and Mary Rose Drinkwine.

Testimonials:

Testimonials icon
"By the way, I was very pleased with your site's service! It turned out that our group got a better room price reservation at a comparable hotel to the one we were considering. Since our small jazz band doesn't really have any budget to speak of, price was an important consideration and thanks to your service we were able to save money without sacrificing on the quality and amenities of the hotel. Thanks again! We'll be using you again, I'm sure, for future trips." D.R. - Auburn, WA
