Don't be discouraged by the exterior_New inside

What a surprise ! The exterior is misleading. The interior is VERY NICE ! Recently renovated inside. Impressive lobby with French marble fireplace, expensive molding. and the most beautiful tin ceiling. All staff wear very nice uniforms and "try" to be helpful. I didn't use the Business Center since I travel with my own computer and used the internet from my room, but a Business Center is nice extra that I hadn't expected. Rooms are all newly furnished with high quality French furniture. Obviously professionally decorated and nicely appointed. Basic continental breakfast in their new breakfast room (No eggs benedict here !). Good restaurant which adjoins motel delivers. Great pillowtop beds make for a far better nights sleep than most motels offer. Free pass to a full gym 2 minutes away beats the heck out of the usual treadmill. I'm sure there's not much crime in a small town like this, but it was reassuring, nonetheless, to have the video surveylance throughout the place. Cheaper than the other motels in town where I've stayed, and waaay nicer and cleaner--definitely underpriced. Also convenient--just 1/4 mile east of I-35. Just a mile away from the Casino for 1/2 the price. These owners obviously hold high standards for how their business operates and what they offer which goes far beyond the usual economy motel. I'll stay again anytime that I'm in the area.
