Spillway Motel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and comfortable. Loved having the little love seat couch. My husband and I could both sit on it and work on our computers at the same time. Would have been nice to have a clock that works, it went off at midnight, and the only way I could get it shut off, was unplugging it. The lady and gentleman, that was behind the desk were so nice."
