We've stayed at this property several times before on our drives north after coming across a good review of on-site Italian restaurant. Having a decent on-site restaurant (quite good by motel standards), their reasonable room rates, and being pet-friendly allowed us in the past to overlook the motel's shortcomings. The wear and tear, especially in the hallways, has always been noticeable. This last stay though, the smell of vomit in the hallways, especially around the ice machine, was objectionable. Our rooms seemed scruffier: banged up furniture and doors, carpet stains. Still no wi-fi; broadband is available if you have an ethernet cable. The front desk will provide you a loaner.
Also disappointing is the continental breakfast. Indifferent presentation makes the poor quality and selection particularly unappetizing. Stale mini-bagels, donut holes, Fruit Loops and Frosted Flakes aren't going to cut it for adults. We instead opted for McDonalds' fresh fruit platters and better coffee.
Despite the decent restaurant and friendly staff, the questionable repair and poor breakfast offerings will make us look for better overnight digs in this price range.
