Although this is a nice looking motel we had a bad experience. The laundry room was locked at 9:30 10 min before I went to get our cloths out. When the dryer electronics would not restart the next morning, the woman running the place claimed my laundry had wrecked her dryer and tried to get me to pay for repairs.
