Well if water would not have sprayed out of the toilet after every flush it would have been better. Also finding the driveway after dark kinda sucked.

My stay was good. Typical motel style. Breakfast was ok, make your own waffles, meat, potatoes, eggs. One thing that was nice that I was not expecting was a walking/biking trail in front of the hotel, which was nice and went for a few miles in either direction. Staff was friendly.

Racist

I’ve been traveling this country for 30 years on a motorcycle and have never been told I couldn’t park my bike under the awning, with rain expected, until this one.The night shift attendant that checked us in was obviously racist against us or a biker took his girl in the past at some point. I could see that happening very easily. He was not accommodating at all. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. I will purchase a tent next time I’m in the area before I spend my money with this one again.
