very nice personnel. I do the laudary and leave them dry in the garden. I went outside for diner. It's rainy at my return. Surprise: my clothes were dry and waiting for me in my room. The room is big and clean. I didn't hear any noise when sleeping even if there's road work outside. A shopping mall is at 5mn by foot (quick food, shops, etc.). I think they offer breakfast but I didn't try.

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    We mainly chose Airport Gateway Motor Lodge because we were on a flight the next day and the motel provided shuttle service to the nearby airport. All rooms had kitchenette and living room so it was very comfortable, except for the very weird doors. We had a wonderful dinner in the very popular adjoining restaurant that night and that was definitely a plus.
