Had a bed, that’s the only positive I can say

Passing through on a drive to a further destination, this motel offered a clean bed that was comfortable enough for a night on the road. The room was not in a good state of upkeep, damage to the door, the tables, the wall in the bathroom left much to be desired. The toilet was clogged, and as we checked in late in the evening we didn’t notice until the morning. It definitely had not been cleaned from the previous occupant. If we had arrived earlier I definitely would have asked for a different room.

It was nice having a restaurant attached to the building. The food was great. Room cleaning needs improvement. Dirt behind the doors and on the carpet. Room wasn’t cleaned, towels replaced, garbage’s emptied, & beds not made when door hanger was hung requesting it.

Liked: Staff & service
I had asked for a bottom floor but had second floor, I had to make two trips up and down the stair. My knee is so sore after up and down the stairs. The desk drawer would not close so was a hazard when walking around the bed. The toilet is so close to the vanity you bang your arm and cannot reach the toilet paper with out hurting yourself. This is my third time staying there and my last.
