Super small bathrooms. Do not rent motel is you are over 250 pounds due to small bathroom and shower. Breakfast was offered but I did expect waffles or more hot options. Connected to liquor store and bar with live music which was nice. Front desk not knowledgeable of local amenities or landmarks. Also bathroom was not cleaned to me liking at all. Hair and stuff in the shower

Overall the place was nice, you could tel they try hard to make it nice. They could dim the outdoor lights a little in the evening so they don't come through the blinds at night time though! The evening clerk wasn't very cheery...at all. She was there LOL Breakfast is basically wrapped pastries, fruit and yogurt, juice.....really a continental breakfast. We decided to pass and go to Frenchies!! YUM! The rooms were clean, beds were firm, pillows were decent and plentiful. We only stayed a night, but that's all i'd really stay for if it were a longer vacation i'd stay somewhere else. They hit you with a $30 service fee and another $25 for something else right when you check in....so be aware of that. We did book through Expedia. You can hear people knocking on other doors...thinking it might be your own....BUT as I said it was one night, the price was right until we got hit with the other fees.... Clean, safe, and close to the southernmost point and Dumont st.
