Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was small and the bed was a little lumpy. The room was clean and had everything we needed. It was good for a one-night stay for two of us. Breakfast in the restaurant the next morning g was really tasty and well priced.

WAI WO

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is very old, and the condition of the room does not justify the price. The most unreasonable part is being required to pay a $200 deposit at check-in. I don’t believe anything in the room is worth over $200, nor are there any additional services that would justify such a charge. Even some five-star hotels only hold a small deposit for services like long-distance calls. I genuinely wonder why Expedia allows such an unreasonable policy for this motel.

When they saw me they immediately said they were full. No Vacancy for me and my friend. Humiliating discrimination that is quite unacceptable.
