Disliked: Amenities

Very depressing ambiance... room was brown and boring. One overhead light and one lamp. Bathroom had many repairs in the works. Needed painting! Towels and linens were very very thin. Coffee pot did not work - I had to manually use a stirrer to dispense the weak coffee. Doubt I would stay there again...

Nice motel reasonably priced

Rather noisy (not the fault of the motel) late at night. Check in was a little slow. ( had to wait for desk clerk several minutes.) no big deal it was about 6 PM and she was working alone. All in all very good stay. Will go back.
