Very nice stay
I came with my daughter because she was attending a youth event at the Reagan Ranch. It was easy to find and check in. The front desk was friendly and even gave us a free room upgrade. They also gave us a late check-out. The room was clean, and the breakfast area was above average for a budget motel.
