The remote check-in went well. The room was clean and reasonably quiet considering how close it is to US-2. It is a well maintained older motel. Breakfast is pretty light,prepackaged, and unattended.

The room was adequate, but somewhat worn. It was clean. We did not see staff as it was a remote entry. The room smelled of stale smoke, which was difficult for us.
