    The towels and bedspread are old and stained. Throw them away and purchase new ones. The bathroom tub needs to be glazed and floor tile in the bathroom could be improved, and the TV could be upsized.

    The property is in good shape and the rooms appear to be large with a refrigerator freezer, microwave and large work desk. The hot water is immediate.

    The room was very dirty. I actually took pictures for documentation. The floor had white, dry clumps of liquid, so they did not mop. The shower was dirty, there was hair in the shower, and they did not clean the tub as there was an old bar of soap in the corner.

    Couldn't reach front desk by phone. Maybe the phone number on Booking.com's website is outdated. Pool was "temporarily" out of service. Seemed like a budget issue.

    Location next to CA-1.

    Walls are very thin. There was a plastic mattress cover on the bed. It made sleeping noisy and hot. I would suggest putting a cotton mattress pad over the plastic one.

    It was clean enough considering it’s an older property. The bed was comfy and not saggy as some are. The staff was nice. The first room they gave us was next to a very noisy family. We asked to be moved and they accommodated us. It’s within walking distance to a Starbucks where we had breakfast both mornings.

    not a good area, a child was at the front desk chair while dad was working, the hallways and rooms smelled-we had to by air fresheners. the blankets were not heavy enough so we had to by a blanket. no washcloths only hand towels, shower/tub looked old and dingy. they advertised breakfast, which they did not have..

    nothing stood out to really like about it. I would not return

    I stayed at this hotel in 2017,2018 and 2019. In 2019 they had just finished remodeling. The room had great appointments and very modern. The hotel was closed in 2020 due to COVID. The county paid the hotel to house COVID patients, It just recently reopened, The room had been stripped to bare minimum furniture. There was supposed to be a coffee maker on the TV table in the room, but there was not one. The carpet had been replaced with vinyl flooring. No dresser or desk. The breakfast room was empty. Although, if you asked, the front desk would give you fruit, pastry, and yogurt. Outside of building needs to be high pressure washed ort painted. I have enjoyed staying at this hotel in the past. I hope they are able to bring it back to the pre-COVID style.

    The price. the other hotels in the area are outrageous.

    Bath wasn’t very clean, we did not want to take a shower. It was very noisy and loud during the afternoon and evening but at night it was very calm though. Price was very high but it was on a Saturday

    The owner is very kind, joyful and offers a nice breakfast bag at the check out. Room is fine, bed is comfortable, there is everything you might need.

    Difficult to find the road to the facility. The Roadway Inn signs: the tall one and lower one were both out of lights so difficult to find the hotel.

    See above.

    Didn’t like the bed bug we found in the bed. Also, stop advertising that you serve breakfast, because it sets the wrong expectation. What you are serving is not what most would expect.
