The owner was very understanding. I was from out of town and towing a trailer. She allowed me to park the trailer and checked me in way before scheduled time. This gave me time to go to the airport to pickup my friends and able to show them around .

As the owner of the Motel, I am very disappointed at your experience.We have a high score for cleanliness generally. I inspected your room and I agree it was not up to our standard. We have rebuilt half of our rooms, and the second half are to be rebuilt in May and we invite you to inspect them again.
