Hotel just ok, not that clean. When asking to clean the room & change bed, they didn't change the bed sheets, vacuum the room, only dumped the trash & provide towels. The card slot on elevator didn't work well like falling apart, need to insert the card into slot soany time in order to get it work!

"A well maintained motel. Young man at reception was very helpful & professional. Cost at $329,00 for a single night was excessive. We stayed only after finding that all places at a more reasonable price had no vacancies. The excessively high price was the only negative"
