I would like to take a moment to commend Mr. Mike Panchal for his exceptional skill in resolving a very challenging situation during our stay. Due to an error, our reservation had been booked for the night before our intended stay, which we only discovered upon arrival after a long drive. To make matters more complicated, there was a citywide power outage at the same time. Mr. Panchal took charge of the situation with calm professionalism, managing to reassure and assist the guests despite the difficult circumstances. He handled the anxious crowd with remarkable patience, and no one directed frustration at him or the establishment, as it was clear these issues were beyond their control. Mr. Panchal’s dedication and efforts to keep guests at ease were graceful and seamless, making it feel as though the power had never even gone out. His calm demeanor and proactive approach turned a potentially stressful experience into a manageable one. When the power was restored, he continued to ensure everything was handled smoothly and professionally. Mr. Panchal is an invaluable asset to this company, and his stellar customer service skills truly deserve recognition.

The motel was very clean and provided everything needed for a simple 1-night stay. It was not the nicest place and the lighting in the room could have been improved, but we were pleased with our stay, the price was excellent, and we would definitely stay there again under similar circumstances.

Mostly a good stay but they have issues with hot water. I called the reception to tell them there was no hot water and they said to turn the hot water at the sink while using the shower to make it work. That works. But the next morning at 6 am It did not. Water was cold.
