the bed felt like sleeping on plywood, the pillows were flat and worn out, the bottom of the tub was not flat, difficult for an old geezer like me with two bad knees to stand in, the bathroom door would not stay open, interfering with anyone trying to use the vanity, one of two bathroom bulbs were burned out, no local news or weather on the TV, not everyone lives with a phone glued to their head......

It was a great stay. There was a noise issue when a bus full of girl athletes arrived after 10 PM. But this got much quieter by 11. Using the Roku tv was a bit of a challenge as there are many channels not available, and the access code for adding your own streaming apps would have been a plus. Between the outside lights and the Christmas lights, it was extremely bright in the room. Overall a good stay.

On the good side, great towels and a Keurig coffee maker. On the negative side, There were no comfortable chairs in the room. They were great in communication. It was well worth the money.

In the pictures it did not appear to be such an old style motel. It could definitely use a makeover. There appears to be long term renters there. Pet fees need to be clearly posted be Expedia and any lodging facility.
