We arrived for three nights at this motel, and from the moment we arrived we were shocked, first of all a couple with a slant welcomed us with a smile and a desire to help, immediately she wanted to open the door for us and waited until we finished registering and booking the cruise. All our difficulties were received with a smile, the room is very clean and equipped. No words, excellent value for the price.
