Negative Reviews
negative:
Limited parking spaces.
According to reports, parking can be a problem at the motel. Reports indicate that there are fewer parking spaces at the motel than rooms. As such, some guests are left to seek alternative parking options in the local neighbourhood, which itself is said to be less than desirable.
negative:
Late check-in unavailable.
The motel does not offer all-night check-in, a detail that has proven problematic for some guests. Those arriving late at night have found the motel office to be closed, making it impossible to check-in. In particular, this has been an issue for those travellers arriving after a delayed flight.
negative:
Motel remodel not complete.
While some rooms have been
remodelled, guests report that not all accommodations have been upgraded.
Reports indicate that some rooms still feature tired-looking décor and old,
non-functioning amenities.
