desparately in need of updating
It is true you get what you pay for. The motel has not been updated since the 60's. The A/C was difficult to work. The mattress was flimsy, I fell off while sitting on the edge and did not sleep well. The bathroom linolium was puke green, the counter was small. The walls were pulling apart at the corners. The interior was old, carpet was old, the doors were not uniform. The breakfast counter fell when I pressed the rubbermaid lid back onto the bagels.
Good points: the fridge worked, kept our pizza cold overnight. The girls at check in/out were courtious.
Bottom line, perception is part of a comfortable stay. Our stay was not a good one.
