The room was find and even though the motel is being remodelled it did disrupt our stay.
There were not many eggs/meat to eat. No oatmeal or fresh fruit.
The elevator would not have passed inspection (especially in our home state)!
The bathroom faucets needed maintenance.
The bed was comfortable and we slept well.
