Not a happy Camper
Pros:

Good Breakfast. The room was nice sized with two beds and descently clean. However the place is old and is a compound with multiple buildings.

Cons:

Reported that the fridge was not working every day of our stay. According to the front desk their maintenance person is hit or miss. Never got the fridge fixed and they don't have spares. The ice machine is located in the front office which closes at 10 pm. Stayed three days, no service to the room at all.

Pros:

The price and breakfast were okay.

Cons:

The person who touched up the photos better have gotten paid well enough. The room we were in was nowhere near likened to the photos online. The whole room looked like it survived a nuclear fallout, the bathroom was severely cramped. There was paper stuffed in the AC to help hold it together. The light switch by the door turned the microwave and TV on, but no lights... the staff barely said anything in way of greetings whenever we interacted with them.

Pros:

The location of the motel was perfect for visiting the local attractions and there were alot of stores and restaurants with in walking distance. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Cons:

The rooms had several cosmetic repairs that needed attention. There were no extra shower towels if you needed more you had to exchange the wet towels for clean ones.
