I booked 2 rooms smoking room and the motel upgraded me 2 beautiful rooms. One of the rooms was spacious with Fire tv. My 2nd room was nice as well. That room was smaller and it had cable. The cable had gone out and I called the night manager. She fixed my cable with 10 minutes. Overall, the staff was great!
