Thank you for your recent review. With regards to our sign not being illuminated, we are awaiting parts to arrive for it. Once these arrive it will be fixed. We re very sorry for the inconvenience that this caused everyone, but having the sign turned on blows all the lights at the Motel so it is better to not have it turned on until fixed.

Thank yo for your recent review. We are sorry that you felt that you were not welcome here. I do know that after talking to the manager that she spoke to you on numerous occasions as she was going about the complex. We were very short staffed over that weekend as well. We do hope that you will consider staying with us again in the future.
