Kind of happy but maybe not.

The motell was under renovation and the office was closed. We had to drive to the other hotel up the road just a few feet away. When i checked in they did not have the King bed we asked for at the hotel i requested that was close to the pool but the offered us a room with two queen beds at the same price so we took that. The AC worked but it was realy loud so when it would come on every 10 minutes it would wake you up. There were construction workers staying there and at 5 am they were out side tallking very loud and they had their stereo up with the doors open not to mention the backup beepers. When there is a parking lot on the other side of the property the could make as much noise as they want.

The room door did not lock. Big gap at the door jamb. Literally did not lock. Pushed it open as I went to slide the key in. Had to change rooms. The breakfast (as advertised included) is one danish and “coffee in your room” as the woman stated at the front desk as she handed me the danish (did give me 2 of them;). She and her husband were very kind and moved my room and said that someone stayed on that room the night before with no problems.

This property was older which is no problem if the proper maintenance is done. The ice machine did not work, the pool had a pad lock on the gate, the office was closed for renovations (which were not currently being done) and you have to travel up the road to another motel to use their office. On the positive side,the a/c was cold and since we ended up in a wheel-chair friendly room our shower was nice and roomy. Good location but we would not stay there again.
