Nothing was unique about the Motel because it was a deceitful advertisement of the place as a Hotel instead of a Motel. Not enough breakfast for whole stay duration period. Had to wait for limited food being prepared by rations. Last day of Sunday was even worse when we were told that the manager who wasn't on duty decided what breakfast to be served to people. Worse service ever, very poor, will NEVER recommend to anyone.

They couldn't find our reservation through Expedia even after I gave him the number and all information. He was also not apologetic and didn't offer to continue to book us a room so we went elsewhere. Service was terrible.
