No sign of free welcome drink as indicated in confirmation information. No designated parking, motel full of large 4 wheel drive vehicles parked without thought (perhaps under no direction from management to be aware of space), some with trailers parked separately. No ventilation fan in bathroom, thus everything was dripping after 2 showers. On first floor - bottom step of stairs would not pass safety check. Positive point, much quieter than expected even though room was near main road.
