Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was not clean. Floors were dirty. Main lobby was closed. Had to call a number to talk to someone to deliver towels. Staff only available at a certain time as they worked another job during the night. No breakfast available as was stated on the Expedia website. Unfortunately, I will not rebook this property. Disappointed as I stayed last summer and it was very nice.

Good and basic motel with friendly staff. Easy parking, clean rooms, self-serve breakfast with plenty of options, and a 3-minute drive to the regional hospital. The rail trail runs right behind it, making it a very pleasant 12-minute walk to the nearest restaurant.
