Ok two day stay.
Recently updated, AC wast fairly quiet, towels were poor quality and stained. Pillows were too soft and floors needed to be washed. Acceptable for the two nights were stayed.

Upgraded rooms in a traditional 2 story motel
This hotel has been entirely renovated, very modern, cool wallpaper, innovative plumbing fixtures, lots of outlets for electronics. But it still has the basic 1960’s Motel architecture on two floor, so half the guests have to walk up the 16 steps to the second floor. Breakfast is continental, basically, cold cereal.

Nice new renovation
Very well done renovations. Couple of rusty spots on metal furnishing. Linens were very old and thin. Some stains and a hole. Bathroom linens were very old and thread bare as well. If you’re looking for a one night stop it’s perfect.

Much better on the inside than the outside. It looks a bit run down on the outside, but the rooms were clean and comfortable and had modern conveniences. Bathroom was very small but clean and bed was comfortable. Breakfast was all carbs, but there was a lot of choices like cereal, oatmeal, breakfast bars and yogurt. Employees were very welcoming and kind. It was an enjoyable stay.

Convenient to shopping malls and Colby college, but very noisy from the highway. Putting coffee makers in the rooms and not so thin towels would be helpful.
