"We regularly stay here. The only thing I would ask and this is for all motels that they let you know if the bed is firm or soft. I know it’s a big ask but it’s really disappointing when you’re so tired and get into bed and it’s so hard you can’t rest. First world problem I know but it’s the only fault I can find."
