Just want to say thank you to Miss Anita Patel for all of their kindness they showed us through our stay. The rooms are very clean and reasonably priced. I would absolutely go back and stay again. While we were there we met several homeless people they have been providing rooms for through this so cold winter which I've never heard of no motel doing, so thank you Miss Anita for everything.
