The first surprising fact was that there is no elevator...what modern day motels with more than a ground floor have no elevator?! That put a question in my mind about the place. First appearances when going in were not very positive; not real clean and neat. After making our way upstairs and into the room a horrible mold/mildew smell hit us. All those first impressions seemed rather discouraging...but, after more time, it wasn't as bad as I thought. The floors and paint have been redone fairly recently and still nice. The bathroom fixtures, in our room, anyway, need replacing...very worn out. The bed was comfortable and clean, air conditioner works quite well, the breakfast is very basic "continental", but enough. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful. There's the good and the bad, as with anything.
