To be a Hotel chain you should have wash cloths to replace immediately upon servicing a room. Other than that the hotel was rather good, decently priced, love the gated entry if you stayed upstairs.

Loved the 60’s theme. Staff was great. Room was clean. Being dog friendly was a necessity and I appreciated the bonus of dog treats at the front counter. Mother Earth has a brewery down the street and it was nice to be able to purchase cans of their brews at the front desk. There was construction on the street outside, so the ongoing noise was my only complaint and nothing within the control of the motel. Would definitely stay again.
