Everything worked as it should have. I didn't try the air conditioning. The bed was comfortable. The check in was easy, the receptionist knew I was arriving late and that was not a problem. The motel was a walkable distance from town. I enjoyed my stay and would stay there again if the price was right.

Rooms set up with refrigerator, hot pot, coffee cups, glasses, plates, bowls, cutlery, instant coffee, teas, creamers and a welcome biscuit. My queen room was large and clean. In addition to bed, room was outfitted with large closet, dresser, 2 bedside tables with lamps In room table and chairs large enough to dine at. Traveled with my 2 adult sons and had joining rooms. Rooms had heating and air conditioning units. Nice little table with 2 chairs outside rooms. You'll need a car to get around. Would definitely stay here again.
