Overall Score5.0/ 5
We were only in town for less than 24 hours however the staff made our stay very enjoyable and comfortable. We asked for an earlier check in as the event we were attending started earlier in the day. I talked to Shauna on the phone and she was very helpful in making that accommodation for us. The next morning we needed to leave early and we accidently left our house keys in the motel room. We called from home and Sherri was very helpful and said they could be mailed back to us. Sherri had also helped us learn to navigate the TV remote when we were there. Thank you again to Shauna and Sherri! Ed and Mary Rose Drinkwine.
