Mary Lisa

Disliked: Staff & service
The motel was found fine, great breakfast. However, our room had a flimsy a/c controller; broken charger station and a dysfunctional microwave. The eve of our arrival we noticed the charging station did not work and notified the front desk. It took 2 days for a workman to arrive but in the meantime we had had to buy an outlet, since it was needed to charge medical electral equipment. The front desk workers appeared to not care. The manager learned about this and said he would offer us a discount. Upon checkout, there was no discount, and had to be contacted much to the annoyment of the front desk worker. Fine place but needs workers with new attitudes.
