Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Reserve a parking spot in advance when booking, as free on-site parking is available but requires a reservation.

  • 02

    Request a room away from street-facing sides if noise sensitivity is a concern, as the motel is on a busy intersection.

  • 03

    Arrive with a confirmed booking and be prepared to show ID, as alternative payment arrangements at check-in may not be accepted.
