I felt like i was sleeping on the floor. Bedsheets AND pillowcases had stains. All the electric outlets were stretched out so far my cpap and phone chargers would just fall out of v the hole. This place looks like it caters more to its "weekly" residents. Late night traffic in parking lot. I left at 1030 pm because i didnt feel safe. Cashier was protected with thick " bullet" proof glass. Thats always a good sign right. Im in motels nearly every night. Never im this one again.
