This hotel was perfect to accommodate our needs, we are currently on a roadtrip from central Texas thru the west coast. The manager was on point ensuring safety and organization. Cleaning could be done better in the bathroom windowsill but that’s the only thing I found worth mentioning. Great motel!!
