The Cosmopolitan Motel and Serviced Apartments
Interstate traveler, arrived really early (drove), really tierd but the one staff member on front desk got me into my room well before check in. He was very polite and it was so good not to have to wait until 2pm. Would recommend for a single or couple looking for something clean and basic.
