    It is a safe place to stay, but for the price they should have done/had more.

    Access to toiletries, snacks, where I did not have to run out and get them myself. Better TV. I streamed on my laptop, but that steaming interfered with other work I wanted to do on my computer.

    The room size was great. Much more spacious than most hotel rooms these days. TV was limited channels, vending machines (one was broken and the other had 3-4 items in it. The staff was fine but only had my check-in and leaving where I actually met a person. The hotel was cheaper than the rest (but not by much for what they offered) It was very, very quiet. No elevator to the 2nd floor. My luggage was scraped up. If I ever book there again - it would be in the summer when I could enjoy the outdoor pool. and sit on the mini decks that are outside the rooms. I know the area well and it is a safe place to stay.

    Malfunctioning ventilation fan unit in the bath/shower space; and need for a deep cleaning of the carpeting (bare feet were filthy from embedded dust and dirt in the carpet fibers.

    Roominess of the living space and safety of the outside balcony.

    No vending to speak of. We didn't even look for an ice machine. Nothing, however, that would deter me from staying again.

    The motel was clean. Although dated, it was very clean. We did not expect maid service due to covid, but we got clean towels and the room made over.

    The very noisy road out our window that was not very soundproof ...

    The room was very spacious - there were even three sinks - and plenty of room to spread out! There was also a small balcony but it overlooked a very busy and noisy road.

    The man I forgot his name help me out I had a loud person above me an I ask him about it to relocate. And in which he did put me in a room that was very quiet and I was very grateful for it. They are very nice people that run the place highly recommend it. Also it’s a little dated just so you know . But I’m not their a lot at all . So this place meets my needs very well . Price was better this time when I went Thanksgiving weekend then when I was there and August. It has my vote for good .

    The internet was terrible and I could not do my work. There could have been a few more channels on the TV; specifically something for young children. (kids PBS).

    The location was great and the staff was friendly! The suite was very large and had a kitchenette.

    If I didn't know any better, I'd say the mattress was made of straw. They originally had me on the third floor, which in itself is not a problem. Except if there's no elevator.

    Nothing, really.

    Hotel was low cost, so really got what I expected at that cost.

    The property is very tired. While it was quiet and clean enough- sheets and towels were clean, bathroom fixtures were clean, it didn’t feel fresh at all. We had stayed at a property during the same trip that was less expensive and nicer/fresher (with breakfast) so this place paled in comparison.
