Meh - at best

Check-in was ok. Owner|front desk staff friendly but not very professional. Room is not only dated - it is poorly maintained. One of the lamp shades fell off when attempting to turn on light b/c it was so worn out. trash from other guest(s)n around furniture

Pretty rundown place, not that it’s not clean it’s just too expensive to stay in and it’s not worth the money. Will not stay here at all if we ever i. the area again.

The owner was not available to check us in at the proper time and we had to wait 1 1/2 hours for him to come to check us in. I had insulin that had to be kept cool and the weather was very hot. Won’t stay at the Model A again. Very disappointed.
