It’s a Average cheap motel. But I didn’t like how our key card was always deactivated and we would have to go to get it reactivated. And the place is a little dated.

You get what you pay for. Its cheap but staff was dismissive, area was unsafe, smells heavily of weed and cigarettes, rooms where unclean, housekeeping came in while I was still booked in and attempted to take my beer, poured out my energy drink. Also dont order food while here, door dash or others will steal it.
