It's nice to support smaller business. The only downside to here is there isn't free breakfast.

It was good but during our stay we had no curtain for the bathroom window. We were told we would get one but it never came so taking a shower was mildly uncomfortable even if we knew people weren't outside walking past our window.

My stay at this motel was nothing short of a catastrophe. It's astonishing how a place like this can still be in business. As I walked into the front desk, there was nobody in sight to greet me. Ringing the bell became an exercise in futility, and the second bell ring was met with blaring party music – as if they were throwing a bash while guests waited! On my third attempt with the bell, there was still no response. I finally gave in and called the front desk, only to be told by a lady that she was "away right now." The lack of professionalism was infuriating. But the true absurdity came when, without any prior warning or notice about assigned parking, the front desk woman came pounding on my door, loudly yelling that my friend had parked in the wrong spot. How on earth were we supposed to know about assigned parking if nobody bothered to inform us? The cherry on top was when they had the audacity to inform us the next day that we weren't welcomed back. It's as if they take pride in their incompetence and terrible customer service. Avoid this place like the plague. It's a complete disaster, and I wouldn't wish this experience on my worst enemy. Stay away unless you enjoy dealing with unprofessional staff and chaos at every turn.
