Normal amenities are missing. No, Housekeeping every day. Housekeeping cleans every third day. Our trash needs emptied every day. We needed our towels collected and replaced everyday. I had to go to customer service desk, to ask for towels blanket for the next day. I even took our used towels to them. No lighted Mirror at desk for make up. Some people can’t stand. We thought we would save money eating our free breakfast. Oh my… terrible. Could not eat it. We thought with the 9.8 rating your Hotel would be great! Our rating would be a 5.0. Most of the rating goes to your wonderful employees. Your employees are a 10. The beds are comfortable and that was great. Maybe some people would not mind these types of amenities but this Motel is not for us.

Clean room, parking plentiful, bathroom was great. There was a party on Saturday night where the attendees were not inside the party room and talked loudly into the night, lots of door slams and that was pretty irritating. The front desk HAD to hear the noise but nothing was done to care for the other guests unfortunate enough to share first floor space with the racket.
