Everything was good except we had a room on the second floor and there was no elevator. The stairs were long and kind of scary. The restaurant and bar at the motel were great. Food very good. Breakfast was good at the motel.

Our room was very damp and only halfway cleaned. The carpet Smelled like mold, and was wet. Some rooms were allegedly remodeled, but ours and our friend’s were not. It was definitely not worth the money.
On the bright side, the woman who worked the Free breakfast area was very sweet. But I will not stay there again.

The TV in the room flashed on an off every 15 seconds. Asked the staff about it and was told they were working on it. Stayed on a Monday, left for one day and returned on Wednesday and still the same problem.
