The only thing I dislike is the vanity which is too tiny. Everything else is good. The best I like is the generous supply of tea, coffee and milk. The tea is very delicious. Thanks the hosts.

I read about this luxury motel on a blog (the author raved about it), and thank goodness I did! It was modern, new, spotless, ginormous (the shower stall was the size of most bathrooms!), well-appointed, comfortable (most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in), handy to zillions of restaurants and stores, and came with a parking spot right below the room (no trudging through a huge lot). Cherie at the front desk was friendly and helpful. I would absolutely recommend The Sails and stay here again without question.
