Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The motel is aged but in good condition. Staff is very friendly given the fact that she has to work in both the reception on the ground floor and the restaurant on the second floor during breakfast time. Breakfast was great, foods are freshly cooked and served even approaching the close hour of 09:00. Plenty of parking space, which is precious right in the center of the city. Some reviews that the tile was peeling off in the bathroom, which we did not experience. However, as there is no ventilation on the roof, the paint is becoming bubbled. This is probably the only reason we only give it a four rather than a five.

A well maintained motel. Young man at reception was very helpful & professional. Cost at $329,00 for a single night was excessive. We stayed only after finding that all places at a more reasonable price had no vacancies. The excessively high price was the only negative
