Shirley

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bed was soft on the sides, hard in the middle. The 4 pillows were paper thin, had to purchase one myself. There was no hot water no matter which way you moved the tap. Had to reset the tv satellite at least 3 times. The breakfast was a cold breakfast, the restaurant that used to be there was removed. The pool was over chlorinated, hot tub not working, the gym has broken equipment. The person that works the reception desk during the day was very nice but the owners are not. Will not stay there again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Check in was friendly and welcoming. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom had what appeared to be mold along the grout and in corners. The storm door would be nice to have in the summer but it rattled and banged and looked like something that had been reused from a 1950s home. The furnishings were very dated. The heating unit fan turned on and off constantly. It was a very cold night so I was in no position to turn it off. The room rates were fairly exorbitant considering the small town location and amenities. Serious consideration must be given to improving this motel.

The bed was not comfortable, significant updates needed for the room, etc , to feel more comfortable. (Example: new pillows, bedding, a new mattress would have made a big difference) The staff were friendly, but then were upset to have to look for an extra pillow/ blanket. (There were none in the room). Overall not great for the price we paid for one night.
