The room was spotless, and he upgraded us to the spa room. The service was outstanding. The owner was so kind and generous. He picked us up at the airport because we had to drop off the car a day early, and then took us back to the airport the next day. He recommended places to eat and see. Very kind, helpful, and the accomodations were great. The one thing I loved the most is the the vanity mirror was next to a window so it was easy to to see to put on your makeup. Highly reccomend Arcadia Motel!
