Outside temperature was in the 90's and the room was hot and never did cool down. The window-shaker portable a/c unit was undersized for the room. There was no other means of air-circulation; no fan and the windows couldn't be opened. Even if they could, it would have just let more road noise into the room. I was given the room immediately adjacent to the road (Highway 30) and the friday night traffic noise was terrible. The noise from the a/c unit helped drown out the traffic noise but the a/c unit turned-off for no apparent reason in the night. The external door latch hardware was very loose and only residential quality offering no sense of security. The door fit so tight in the frame that it stuck and had to be forced open. It's an older motel and regardless of the owner's rebuttal of that as an excuse, the room needs to be remodeled and conditions improved in order to demand the price that I paid for it. I was disappointed and happy that my wife didn't accompany me on this trip as she would not have stayed there.
