This young lady…’; a 1-star ‘Why is it still open?’ wrote ‘Second visit to this motel. Second time assigned room not ready for occupancy. Room changed to a room that had no dresser for clothing! Soap in bathroom so small, suited for a doll house’; a 2-star ‘Would not stay there again’ wrote ‘The important parts of the room looked sufficiently clean, but there were marks on the walls etc that made it feel not clean. We reserved a non-smoking room, and the room smelled horrible’; balanced against a lone 5-star ‘Fantastic stay’ with clean rooms and kid-friendly.

“The room was clean, but no shampoo or conditioner were provided. The floors were faux wood instead of carpet, but I liked it. The parking lot seems difficult to get into from the main road. There is a Denny’s in the parking lot if you like that.” — StevieGinNJ, 3 stars
