Ppl next door on our right if your staring at entry door from parking were up all night screaming and yelling and blaring music, even after we got to the point of personally asking them to stop. We left abruptly after zero sleep at about 8am. Ruined the what would have been great experience.

The room was nice and clean, just like on the pictures. There was microwave and a fridge. Check in is completely online and one will receive the door code by text message to get into the room anytime. I can't complain at all about the room.

Although the room itself was great, the negative point is that there is no staff on property, no reception. I was staying one night over New Year's and I know people will celebrate the New Year at midnight and everything. But there was a group of young men in the room next to me (#29), who made party and played loud music until 7:30 in the morning, also sometimes banging the wall or similar so that my whole bed would shake. It was impossible for me to get any sleep, and I had to leave at 8:00 am and drive over 450 miles the next day, which was really fun without any sleep the night before. Since there is no staff on property there was nobody to complain to, neither during the night nor in the morning. As a woman travelling alone it is understandable that I didn't want to complain directly to a group of drunk men. Therefore, I can not recommend staying at this motel during major holidays, unless the staff can ensure that quiet times are enforced properly.
