Host apologised that they only had a room that was yet to be renovated so bathroom was a bit dated. Despite this and the unit was clean and very adequate for our stay.

One of many motels along this stretch of road. Our room was large and quirky. The bedding was clean and crisp. The kitchenette contained ample plates, bowls, knives, etc. A surprise bonus was a small table and 2 chairs on back patio.
