View from room is oki, but the room was smelly when i checked it, i informed the Receptionist and she just said “ look like some one cooked a meal”. That is not a good answer, as people checked out at 10 am. If they cleaned the room, they must smell it. This motel has a good view, but the property is old and dirty
