Late in but served well”

comfortable, clean, warm

Suited what we needed the accommodation for. I had thought I had the details of my arrival time, which was going to be late. The office was closed when we arrived but this information was not available to us when we booked. We were lucky because we had other family in the motel already and were able to give us the motels phone number so we could call them to open up for us.

Location, cleanliness, and parking

I got there late. there was no light on the sign to indicate the place. I turned around the area looking for the Motel for 20 minute. I finally stopped at the Broadway Inn to ask if they were the "Alpha Motor Inn" i was looking for. the man kindly indicated the place. I arrived at the place and the manager tells me that i was late. I did not know that the office closes at 8pm. the manager gave the key with some "milk" to take with coffee after I filled up a form quickly because i was late. I said that I do not drink coffee. There was no internet connection for me. certainly because i got there late. so the entire time there, i could not work at all. I went and looked for dinner after i dropped my luggage in my room. i was cold and the room was not heated up. I guess I had to do it myself. I think there is a need to revive customer service in this place.
