Stank strongly like cigarettes, one bed was badly sagging, and it took multiple hours to warm up. At least it was clean.

They don't lock the doors so seems likely to have issues with homeless or other damage that presumably the motel would try to blame me for? But as for the actual motel. It is a barebones motel. We spent less than 12 hours there. But, the heat came on nice and warm. We watched a movie and used the fridge. Everything worked fine.
