Always good and clean, but this stay the breakfast was lacking. No orange juice, no syrup for waffles and after two tries…there was no ice!! Attendant on duty did eventually bring me an ice bucket full as we were leaving.

Breakfast was a wholesome choice although many might have wanted more. The king sized beds were definitely king sized with loads of room. The queen sized seemed a little narrower than that size, but after the king sized, we might have just felt they were smaller than billed. Doorways into bathroom would not accommodate a wheelchair but this motel is a work in process and is a good stay for the money. We will be back yet this month with the family and I am confident we will have a good stay. The one neighboring building has been refurbished and thus the neighborhood has improved from a year ago.

Meh?
The door to the room was very hard to open. Almost felt like we had to break it down to get in. And then force it shut. The rooms and halls smelled of mildew. But it wasn’t bad for us just needing a place to sleep on our drive

Not clean
A non-smoking room can’t smelll like smoke. The shower drain was clogged and the tub filled with water. Overall the cleanliness of the room was less than desirable.

Front desk staff talked super quiet, could barely hear what they were saying. Lots of odd folks walking around, not sure if they were staying at the hotel or not. Housekeeping left a dirty rag in the room.
