"Staff was courteous, professional and easy going. This motel is pet friendly, but there is no real pet area. We found a great dog park 5 minutes away where our dog had a great time off leash (sunset dog park). The suite was spacious and provided enough room for 2 adults, 2 kids and our boxer! Not luxurious, but a great value for the price!"
