The motel looked trashy smelled weird and there’s too many crackheads outside of the building. One lady was wearing underwear in front of the entry door. There’s another apartment complex behind it very ghetto.

The hotel was an absolutely great value. Nice clean simple room, and the staff at check-in was super helpful. I left really early in the morning so really didn't have much of a chance to see what was around. There was a few convenience stores for quick snacks and a short drive away was some fast food restaurants

Beds where comfortable, all and all nice stay if your not looking for anything special. I probably will choose some place else next time..

This place is very gross and run down. We just needed a clean place to stop and sleep for the night. Our room was not what we booked. It was a run-down smoking room with only one bed. The other guests were long-term folks living at this dump. Lots of noise and creepy people. The pillows were flat and gross. The bed was uncomfortable with stained comforters and sheets. Didn't feel at all comfortable or safe. On the positive side, I don't think we got bed bugs as far as I can tell.
