Clean
The motel was very clean and well taken care of however the parking is lacking and our fridge frosted over n quit during the night all the food we needed for the next days sports was trash and the drinks were hot. Informed the front desk at checkout and he didn’t seem concerned one bit for the price we paid to stay here and then had to go replace all the food last minute
