I've stayed there several times over the last 20 years but havent for a few years. Unfortunately there has been little upkeep done and the place is in need of a major redo. Despite the condition it was clean and the staff very friendly.

The room service does not change the towels/lenins on their own, they need to be contacted whenever required. There wasn't any kettle/glass mug for making tea/coffee.

Upon arrival at this motel, the man at front desk was very quick to take my payment, when we went to our room, the heat said on maxed out at 90° and actual temp was 56° ( FREEZING) I went and told him, he said it’s cold outside…. I asked for a refund so I could go to a heated motel, he told me to contact expedia to call him, they did, and he refused a refund.. the room was also not very pleasant.. very run down. 10/10 do not recommend
