Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
This is a noisy, old motel located in a commercial zone. The good - linens were washed (though worn) and the location is convenient. The bad - musty smell in the room; grout in the bath is old and stained; floors were dirty (I wiped the main floor with a wet towel and it turned dark brown); rooms are very small, badly lit and noisy; parking is dangerous, tight and overcrowded by 9pm; door clearly had been pried open in the past. Avoid.

Very disappointed. My headboard had what look like human fecies dripping down my headboard. Room phone didnt work. Window frames are broken and really dirty. The blankets are not even blankets. Literal sheets! As well as pillow cases i thought the cases were the pillow. Towels i dont even want to get started. My soap in the shower had mens hair. All over it. Cleaning. Overall i do not recommend at all.

Not for families

They didnt check us into the second room. Then when we were asleep in bed already, they called us and said were we going to come to the motel to stay at 11 pm! No coffee or milk for cereal at the "breakfast". The bathroom sink was molded.
