I got a ada mobility accessible room with roll in shower. It was very good. the only down side was it only had one bed and the pillows were horrible. I did have to request more towel and wash cloths. The stay was very nice and quiet. Easy to get into and park.

Disliked: Amenities
The room was clean however, the toilet and the sink was not properly installed. Both moved when you use it. Every time you say in the bed you heard the metal frame. The water pressure was very weak. Will not stay here again. When asked for another room they lied and said the water pressure was like that in every room.

Thr room itself was great. It was clean and spacious. The areas surrounding the hotel were horribly noisy. I had a construction site right next to my window. Motel itself was very quiet.
