There were a couple stomping on the ground and arguing with each other for the whole night. I couldn't sleep. No bottled water was provided in the room. I doubt the room's safety, because it's just located on the first floor without any additional doors or gates to access it from outside. Wouldn't recommend.

Breakfast area way to small and no protein offered… everything was carbs and sugar. The heater/fan turned off and on all night, kept me awake. No way t turn just the fan on for a consistent sound. Small things but they make a difference in the stay…

The room seemed recently updated, new window was especially noticeable being this was a motel not a hotel. Bed and pillows were nice also. However, although I had to sign a waiver that I would not smoke, the room did smell smoky. I’ve stayed in worse but I’ve also stayed in much better
