The motel was very run down and no actual reception on site , upon arrival we saw a sticker on old reception door for us to go to another motel down the road to receive keys ( no heads up about this during booking ) , everything was closed up and looked uninviting , very basic cleaning ( stove dirty ) , we had 4 guests in a family suite and were only provided a hand towel ( no towels to shower with ) - it’s fine if your travelling on a budget and want to keep things basic , nice sized rooms etc but could do with a bit of TLC

No name on motel or instruction on reception door or website booked through that you need to check in at completely different motel. Luckily a staff member was at motel for us to ask. Advertise Sky but not available otherwise room large and comfortable. Would stay again. Good price. Plenty of parking.
