The plumbing situation is inexcusable. I could not manage the off/on valve for the shower at all, it stuck and took a huge amount of strength to operate. I was there 3 days and no hot shower ever, that was definitely NOT my money's worth! I think they should have discounted my room for such a flaw. Also there were scads of mosquitoes around the property.

This is a motel, so it’s loud. There was a hot breakfast but you had to walk back across the parking lot (in a cold rain) to eat it. This is due to Covid protocols but other hotels allowed eat in dining. Main building has been updated but rooms have not.
