Liked: Staff & service
When we were given our first room, it had a musty smell and the floors were not clean. We asked for a different room, which was a bit better, but smaller. The motel was not busy, which is why I believe the rooms should have been in better condition when you are hosting traveler's to you motel and inn.

The room smelt musty and had mood in the bathroom. The shower curtain was only half the size it should have been. Beds were hard. Wouldn't stay here again if it was the only place left. The side of the road would be cleaner and more comfortable
