First things first----out small your bus stopped and let us off. Our EF GoAhead tour director said…read morehe chose this motel over some chain motels.
I wasn't impressed at first, standing outside. But I noticed four things right away: only two stories. First floor had outside porches and accessible entries, impeccably clean, orderly grounds, and Casino right next door. (Quiet clean casino, wouldn't have known it was there unless I read the sign.)
Stepped into lobby: as a retired nurse I saw an available wheelchair, wall mounted defibrillator AND Epi-Pen station. Well, right away, I knew my review would be Five-Stars.
All the usual amenities of white, clean, orderly eating area for breakfast and carry-out delivery meal, microwave, etc. Afternoon tea available. Microwave. Refrigerator in room.
Bed was perfect. Lovely soft white sheets and pillows. Clean comfy couch. Excellent TV.
Dog friendly, I assume, as I saw a lady and her dog passing through the lobby from the ice machine. As a dog lover myself, and missing my 40-pound love bug terribly while on this tour, I was totally jealous of the lady with her "best friend."
The bathroom......wow. Oversized white one-piece tub, extended shower curtain, easy to control knobs, soft, likely near new towels, bright white.
One unfortunate--my room hair dryer didn't work...likely needed ground-fault reset but my fingers couldn't do it. But at 11p, I just didn't want to bother the front desk.
Also, for some reason, the power must have gone out at 12:12 a because the radio/alarm clock was blinking this morning.
USB plugs, good lighting.
Lady at desk said a Dutch family owned this motel and her mother managed all five of them here.
I asked at desk if they had postage stamps for sale. She said she'd been asked twice lately; likely she'll start stocking a few.
Parking lot level, clean, easy. Big Oversized vehicles should park in casino lot, which maybe is 50 feet away, and just walk across the grass.
But our Tour Director advised us that the Closest restaurant was in Casino. At a previous market stop that we might chose to bring my own sandwich, sodas and snacks and I had a nice TV dinner after a one hour twilight walk upon arrival at the motel. I live close to a Casino; no need to go to one here. Honestly, it was so quiet, I would never have known it was there. The entrance and the lighting must be to a different street entrance.
If I come back, I'll stay here again. I felt right at home. Very, very comfortable. Not too big, not too small.....just right.
And, next time, hopefully I'll have my pooch with me.
