Still producing the goods after all these years

This motel has been here for many years (I've stayed there over a decade ago). Good, basic, functioning motel. The staff are good & there's the usual range of stuff in the room. The only downside was a smell in the bathroom (which may have been coming from outside) that was there when i first arrived, but dissipated over the next few hours.
