Shower was not working, did spoke to receptionist 3 times he said thewill come and check, no one tur
Pros:

Location of the motel

Cons:

Shower was not working, did spoke to receptionist 3 times he said we will come and check, no one turned. WiFi was horrible, disconnecting every 60 seconds, the answer I got was due to weekend all rooms booked as many guests around WiFi not worked. Breakfast just cereal with milk and coffee. No other options.

0/10 would NOT recommend
Pros:

It had power

Cons:

Everything. The staff was rude, they couldn’t find my reservation at check-in. The refrigerator in the room didn’t work and had a horrible smell. There was mold on the walls in the bathroom, and we asked for maintenance to our room that never came.
