Pros:

Big stain on my mattress - I'm telling myself it was coffee. Stains on the rug. Two blinds in the room, stains on each of them. Dead bird laying outside my room for the duration of my 8 day stay. Had to request iron/ironing board. Some staff were excellent, others were very disinterested in helping. Overall, it is what I would have expected from a motel at half the price in an out-of-the-way location.

Pros:

The location was great and convenient to shopping locations!! The morning staff was less than desirable and not as courteous and friendly. The rooms were under stocked of normal daily necessities. Other than that, the evening staff and bartenders were nice and friendly.
