Prior to booking, I checked Hotels.com to ensure this motel had a restaurant. Hotels confirmed it did, but it did not (a toaster doesn't make it a restaurant). NOT IMPRESSED. We stayed on the bottom floor of the motel. We had to put up with thudding noises above us for hours before it subsided (I guess they went to bed). ON Sunday morning there was no hot water. We chose to leave and have a proper breakfast without being able to shower.

My daughter, sister & I showed up 6:30pm to check in and a raucous group of young men were drinking, smoking, shouting & cat calling. We asked for a room far away but the group was so loud, we could still hear them. The lock on the door was not secure and our room had a connecting door to another room with no way to lock from our side. We did not feel safe. But the management would not let us cancel without forfeiting cost of room. The management did not offer to talk to the partying men nor move us to a room without a connecting door. I cannot believe they refused to address the offending group and expected three women to just stay in clearly unsafe circumstances. At 7pm promptly we and our concerns were dismissed because they office needed to close.

Was not happy with the service, we arrived in office hours it wasn’t or responsibility to let us know they were leaving early.
