Check in was disorganised. The motel rang me 2 days beforehand and I gave them my email as requested. Yet on the day no instructions were sent to me. When I rang they said they didn't have my email or correct number ( this despite having rung me 2 days earlier). Room was ok but there was no bathroom basin plug and dirty glasses in the kitchen cupboard.
