10/10 Excellent
"Needed wheelchair access room, easy for van parking and the parking spot needed to be close to the Room's door. The staff were very friendly and super efficient. The smoothest registration ever. The room and the bathroom were big enough for my wheelchair. The parking space was roomy too, not squishy like a lot of Motel parking. I had a problem with the fridge not being cold, and the man said he would be to my room in five minutes ... and he was! I was worried he would ask me to change rooms. That is a big job for a person in a wheelchair. He adjusted the thermostat and said if it wasn't getting cold in five minutes to let him know and he would have a replacement fridge installed in 10 minutes. Easiest, smoothest, most hassle free stay ever. And I am in Motels at least 4 times a year. P.S. The fridge got cold so I didn't need the replacement. It was a Happy stay."
