Jennifer McLin

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is outstanding. The amenities were below average. I have never stayed in a motel before that doesn’t have a coffee machine in the room. It was a drag to have to go out looking for a place to buy coffee every day. Even though I personally did not have any problems with this, the amount of available parking spaces is very limited. There was no phone or alarm clock in the room.
