Staff was great at check in and check out, along with helping get out of our room when the door wouldn’t open. Should have known there was a problem when we had a hard time entering the door. Room is upgraded. Road noise as it is just a motel. Base board piece missing in bathroom. Power went out and no phones were charged over nite. No coffee machine in the room and the coffee in the lobby was horrible. Well better we didn’t drive home from a local Christmas party but otherwise probably won’t stay here again.
