Halswell Lodge - Motel
Inadequate signage. Reception is not obvious, had to ask another guest where it was. Reception area is dusty & unkept. Paying $15 per day to park on the property is costly. Directions to some rooms not present. Had to call manager several times to get exact location of my room (19) no signage.
