A couple of the things we were looking for in a motel was a place we could do our laundry and print out some driving directions.
Their guest laundry is one coin-op washer and dryer. However, both machines worked, and nobody else tried to use them. They each take 4 quarters. If the front desk is out of quarters, you can put two dollar bills into a soda machine and get back 3 quarters in change. I was also able to put one dollar bill and 25 cents in smaller coins into a soda machine, press the refund button, and get back 5 quarters. I'm not sure what other combinations are possible, as the soda machine's bill feeder says "for purchase only".
The washer has a remaining time LED display and takes about 30 minutes. The dryer has no display, but takes about 40 minutes, which is about 10 minutes short of drying a full load of cottons. Overall, it worked for us.
The "business center" is one Windows XP machine in a little room next to the front desk, connected to one USB printer behind the front desk. That printer was pretty slow and often jammed, feeding lots of sheets of paper together, and getting confused and stopping entirely. Resetting the printer and removing a stuck job from XP's print queue didn't work; I had to reboot several times. Other people were waiting to use the machine with the printer, so we had to take turns. I got one printout, but finally gave up on my second printout after wasting an hour on several attempts. I do not recommend this motel if you need a printer.
