The motel, room and staff were very good. Except for the noisy HVAC unit in the room.It was irritating and would have made it difficult to sleep. Fortunately we did not need it for heat or cooling and I was able to shut it off. Also the hall HVAC unit at the south end on the 2nd floor was extremely loud and we could hear it in our room. It would appear both units were in need of maintenance.
