And especially the cordiality of Wayne, always answering promptly and being so kind when I got there, giving me information about the area. He also gave me an extra hour to check out. Also, I got there at midnight, and it was so easy to get the key in the safe and get in. You should definitely stay there! :)

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.
