Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The receptionist was not prepared and took a lot of time to check us in and prepare keys. Though he found the reservations immediately, it took him a long time to check us in and give us the keys. The bath mat was frazzled and should have been trashed long ago. The breakfast was OK, but not exceptional. The usual somewhat warm premade powdered eggs and sausage patties. The muffins were packaged, not fresh. I expected a bit better than what I would find as a low priced economy motel.

The front desk staff/bartender was helpful and friendly (I wouldn’t recommend the tap beer as it was flat!) The room was clean but we discovered someone else’s food remnants under the a/c unit when we were looking for our lost keys. We went down for a quick breakfast at 7 am since we needed to leave and they were out of food! The guy in the kitchen said he was working on making more but, we didn’t have time to wait so, no breakfast! We couldn’t find anyone at or near front desk to check out so, we just left.

Came back to hotel from after having dinner and noticed there is no parking available. About 20 spots or more were taken by trucks and their boats or trucks and their trailers. I was told I had to park in a dark parking lot behind the hotel, which was target I did not feel it was safe, the trucks and trailers and their boats have parked in the parking lot instead of my individual van
