Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was probably the worst we have ever stayed in. It stunk of cigarette smoke. The carpet was in desperate need or cleaning or more likely needing replacement. The shower door was gelling off. The drawers were broken and falling apart. We seriously contemplated finding somewhere else to stay.

Spotless room, new appliances, well situated to all the sights and shopping. The motel is quite old, but the owners appear to be renovating the rooms ongoing. For such a reasonable price, very good value.
