Room condition was not up to the standard that I expected. Office staff seemed to not look after customers complaints when our party did not get the required beds as reserved. Even suggested that we travel to k mart and purchase mattresses! Finally relented and gave us an extra room , no charge. I would not look at staying here again. Tv in bedroom did not work.

Spacious clean room, very nice sheets and towels and a lovely comfortable bed. We were delayed until the day after we were supposed to arrive, and even then arrived after the office closed, yet everything was ready for us. Our only suggestion is to have two chairs in the room, and preferably one at the desk as well.

While not the fault of staff or motel, people traipsing up and down the stairs along with noisy shutting of doors for the majority of the night kept us awake and with a 5 o'clock start for us, it was not good.
