Hi ShamalI'm guessing this low review is due to the email sent to you relating to the state you left the kitchen in and the fact we will not allow you back.Perhaps at your next motel visit (somewhere else) you will be more respectful.

Excellent place to stay. The heated floors in the kitchen & bathroom were appreciated on a frosty morning.

The beds really let this property down. The king bed was a zip together and was saggy. It was cold with no electric blanket and a underlay that didn't even cover the full size of the bed, wasn't fitted so moved in the night, leaving just the bare mattress, not so hygienic. I would think more underneath layers for hygiene would be on a bed. A better top layer would have helped. I get they use zip together beds but you then need sufficient sized sheets. As a winter resort you would think it would focus on warmth. The kids were cold in their single beds also. The layout of the motel was good with the two rooms for a family.
