Overall, the stay and staff were nice, EXCEPT: my wife and I were having breakfast at the dining room this morning when the maitre d' put on a christian evangelist sermon on the TV for everyone to see and hear. It was highly inappropriate and offensive. We promptly left. I took the tip I was going to leave with me. There was also a lot of cigarette smoke smell in various areas of the motel throughout our stay.
