Steve

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room wasn't clean enough, the shower had mould in it in several places.Underneath the bedside cabinet and around edges of room was not the cleanest. The smoke detector was open and no battery in it. Mirror was not cleaned properly. Carpet stairs up to first floor to access the room were very dirty. Very dated room. Could hear the restaurant from our room, pots and pans and talking, also there were instructions NOT to prepare food with strong odour, but the room had the odour from the restaurant? Not what I expected from photos and for what we paid. Would NOT recommend this motel.

We were pleased with the property, but next door had loud neighbors that laughed when we checked to see why it sounded like they were right in front of our windows. They did go to bed at a decent hour, so not a problem sleeping. Loved the AC, we were able to set it to a good level and slept very well.
