"Einfaches Motel, zum Schlafen okay, wenig Service."

7.0

Gute Lage und gute Betten.

Insgesamt recht veraltet, besonders das Bad. Wir haben 5 Nächte dort verbracht, es wurde nicht ein einziges Mal die Betten gemacht, keine Handtücher getauscht oder irgendein Zimmerservice durchgeführt. Wir haben drei Mal an der Rezeption darum gebeten, drei Mal wurde uns eine Reinigung zugesagt, aber nichts passierte - sehr schade.

Facility was clean. Staff was accommodating with early check-in by request. Beds were wide. Also accommodated our dog. Location central with car.

Bathroom was a little old but everything was clean and amenities plenty.

"Exceptional staff!!"

Decent price, central location. The staff was exceptional and always willing to help make your stay comfortable. The motel is old and can use a little updating, yet still very clean.
