First class customer service from arrival to departure including an offer to assist with carrying our bags upstairs and in exiting the car park when leaving. The room although near a busy road was very quiet and the bed comfortable. Great budget accommodation.

I found the staff very friendly and helpful, it's not one of the newest motel's around but it is well kept and very clean. I've had two visits to the Chaparral and both times I had a good experience.
