Staff interaction was…. Limited. Upon check in, I didn’t even get a welcome, barely anything was said except “sign here”. Even with me trying to start a conversation. It just wasn’t that welcoming. Room was okay. There was mold on the showers and ceiling. Housekeeping was phenomenally good. They kept us up in towels and linens. Even changing our trash out late in the day. I

Room was clean for a motel. It was pleasant to walk into a room that smelled like it was freshly cleaned. The toliet and shower had great pressure. They had packets of shampoo and bar soap. Towels were ok quality and clean. Mattress was soft but was manageable for 1 night. Coffee and hot water available at lobby in the morning was a nice touch.
