The virtual check in made the process more difficult than a traditional check in with an in person interaction would. The pictures of the room were very misleading with a small shower with no soap or body wash because it wasn’t refilled. The blinds on the window didn’t function properly allowing for light to peek through or some visibility if anyone wanted to look from the outside (not good privacy)

Great, reasonably priced, I would stay again..but

Good place,easy to find location, clean rooms, hot shower, the motel is nice especially for the price. And once I arrived the checkin was fast and easy...But I did try to call them 4 seperate times the day before I was to arrive - no answer. I even left 2 messages and still no one returned my call. I was trying to extend my stay but booked the extra day elsewhere.
