The comfort, location, cleanliness where perfect. My room did not have a view but others did. The price was right for my room because I was studying and need to walk outside during breaks.

The room is updated and everything is new inside. The bathroom is very clean and bed is really comfy. Behind the motel was this amazing view for sunset and a small bar/restaurant but we didn’t get to go since it was closed when we were there. But...

We had no trouble finding you. There was a restaurant for dinner (very expensive though!) and shops nearby. You were close to Belmont Hospital
