Parking was good and the place was tidy, I was just unaware that when you book and pay for the motel, then show up to use the booking, then they want a bond and your ID. Something that wasn't disclosed to me when I booked and I couldn't find it in their terms and conditions... Could do with more bedding as it only had a very thin blanket and sheet on it. 6 out of 10
