Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The only reason we stayed here was the motel allowed our dog to stay. It was smelly unclean and filthy. Windows didn’t close properly, drafts when windy. Cuties would blow upward. Mouldy silicone. It was just yuck. Well over due for an up grade. The shower dribbled water out the shower nozzle. No pressure. WIFI was a joke. The outside of the property was very well kept and in much better condition than the inside. The price was far too much for the state of the property. Staff were absolutely lovely. Would not recommend staying unless like us you have no other options.
