We really loved this motel. It is very conveniently located within walking distance of the central city, Botanical Gardens, and museums. The rooms are immaculate, new, and very well appointed. There is even a night light in the bathroom--they thought of everything! The kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave, and dishes was appreciated. Free parking is offered, very useful in the city. The bathroom is very new with a great shower. All linens were good quality. Internet worked really well. Everything was great!
