Bed comfy, good sized room. Carpet was sticky underfoot, room had a strong chemical smell. Obviously cleaned, perhaps not 'rinsed'. Couldn't turn hand basin taps off properly. Towels and linens clean.

Very old style motel attached to a tavern/hotel. Minimal facilities, no fridge, bare basic table and chairs, one glass in a 3 person room. Bed was comfortable, shower was hot, tv worked, so it was good for a one night stay between travelling long distances.

Expected a bit better

The room was generally clean. The bathroom door was very loud and squeaky. Everyone in the whole complex could hear when someone was using the bathroom. The air conditioning unit was caked with dust and mold. The musty smell was not good and we couldn't sleep well. We left early. We hope to get a better room on the return trip.
