The room was clean, the bed very comfortable and the staff were nice. We had a lack of sleep due to barking dogs and drunken patrons arguing outside our room each night.Also parking was at a premium. Could not park near our room. It's a case of first in best dressed.

Can park outside your room if you get in early. Dinner at the tavern was good and right there. Room is not very sound proof so you hear everything going on outside.

We had an issue with little gnat like bugs the first night. I asked if they had any flying insect spray, but none was available. I ended up sprinkling dish soap on them to kill them. I don't think it was the fault of the hotel, they were outside everywhere, but was kind of unpleasant.

1st of all night manager forgot to put my key out, and I looked everywhere there was no afterhour number to call at all. I need to seek help from other guest during late night around 11.30pm. And the funny thing is the # on the information card is a city security # and the customer service lady said this property in not under their management, and give me another to try. I need to make few phone calls to get the night manager out during 1am. 2nd after we checked in to that room. We found a lots of ants everywhere. I have to move my bed away from the wall to be able to sleep. 3rd i reported to housekeeper about the ants they said they are suffering ants these few days. If you know there is a problem. Should you try to solve it first????? 4th I reported those problems to the front desk a Nepal guy or India guy and after an hour I received a call from Motel the lady over the phone asked how was your check in last night and how was everything going? I was confused seems they didn't reported those problems to their manager and they didn't communicate with eachother at all. Really disappointed stay.
