Boutique is a strong word for a motel with a fresh coat of paint and unstained plywood furniture. The room itself was very underwhelming in a less than ideal location right by the highway that’s always noisy. The Wi-Fi barely worked, and I mostly had to rely on my own data if I wanted to do anything more than check my email. The TV lagged so badly it took 15 minutes just to search something let alone try to watch something. And all of this is tolerable if you’re just needing a place to sleep at the end of the day. However, sleep is impossible with a constant hum in the room and the loudest AC unit of all time that has something trapped in it making a fluttering sound. By our second day in town we dreaded coming back to the room we paid to stay in for our three year anniversary trip. Even with all these drawbacks, it wasn’t too awful until I discovered the ring of mold around the toilet bowl and the bathroom air vent completely clogged with dust. My partner has not stopped coughing.
