Nice and clean room. The kitchen is big compared to other motels we had stayed before. There was only 1 electric heater to heat up the entire room. If stay during the winter time it will be very cold. Needed a bathroom heater too. I think the rooms Needed to be updated. Lot of noises at night when there was strong wind/rain. I thought the roof was about going to blow away.
