The room was clean and tidy. The bed was perfect. Unfortunately, I had no idea that the nice motel was on a very busy street. I live in the quiet countryside. I was unable to get a good nights sleep.

The bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean. The pillows were either nice and fluffy or hard as rocks. The condition of the curtains, faucets, medicine cabinents, and furniture all could do with a solid refresh.
