The front desk man was nice and friendly. The room had no remote to tv he fixed it right away. The ice machine broke told other man working he looked at it shrugged his shoulders and walked away. There was a refrigerator in the room that got my beverage cold. The motel is old and needs upgrading. Pillows old, linen clean but worn. The light kept flickering on and off. Bathroom shower had hair and mold. No ice bucket no soap or toiletries. Prostitutes using rooms. Nope never again left early 0530. Just uncomfortable situation.
