BARB

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Having travelled the country extensively and stayed in umpteen motels of all standards over the years, this was adequate. The staff was pleasant to deal with. Furniture is comfortable. The WiFi was sketchy in several areas of the unit - best by the kitchen bench. Shower drain is very slow. Otherwise, it was a pleasant stay.
