"Fair. Room was clean. Overall appearance of the motel was ok."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
I was surprised there are no lamps in the room. Not convenient to not have at least one. Room was clean, but carpet needs to be replaced hotel wide. No convenient plug ins for electrical devices, phone, I pad etc. Under the bolted on nightstand was difficult for me to get to. Wall plugs on the TV wall were loose and didn't hold a plug in. Possible fire hazard. Bed was too high to comfortably get into. Didn't like the large mirror on the on the headboard wall. Did not give me a sense of security. Did not like being asked when I came in, after having checked in and leaving once, if I had a key and really thought it was none of their business where I was going. I was asked this twice ! I paid for the room, I did not need someone checking my activities nor question if I had a key. Most likely will not stay there again.
