Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms are on the small side.
According to a number of guests, rooms at the motel can be a little cramped. Reports indicate that rooms are on the smaller side, leaving some guests little room to spread out. In particular, family rooms with two double beds are said to be very cramped.
negative:
Few electrical sockets available.
Dating back to the 1950s,
the motel was built at a time where electronics were fewer and less important to
our lives. As a result, guestrooms are said to offer few, if any, spare
electrical sockets. Guests looking to charge their phone, plug-in their laptop
or use a hairdryer will likely need to unplug an existing appliance.
