Lots of riff raff outside with people from motel next door looking into cars. Luckily nothing happened. The tv did not turn and the front desk wouldn’t answer the phone after trying three times. Then at 3am the fire alarms went off and everyone had to evacuate to the parking lot. I will never stay at this property again
