Called for assistance or "assitance". When you are an employee checking in maybe dress a little more appropriately. Barefoot, crop top and belly hanging out with no bra in my opinion is not too professional. Rooms were more on the gross side and the Continental breakfast consisted of 1/4 loaf of bread and a community jar of PB and I am going to bet the coffee was not freshly made all weekend and drink it black or not at all. Unfortunately I won't be staying here again. Learned some other things about this place but I won't put thar out the for others to read because it was not my own experience. Was just told by others in town. This could be a decent place to stay if a little effort was put in. Never saw staff after that and we were in and out.

For a quick in and out, this older motel was fine. The bed was comfy, the air worked, they provided coffee and continental breakfast. The desk clerks were courteous and offered extra towels.
