A drunk man kept trying to open our motel door. This occurred at approximately 10PM, 12AM, and 1AM. I had to call the police. It was scary.

Wish it could be better

The front desk was very helpful with everything! Location was ok but the bed was very uncomfortable. And we had someone try to open our door twice during our stay. Parking was difficult as the markings were very hard to see. However, the staff was fabulous, helping with all our concerns and needs. The hotel just needs some updating.
