It’s was great for what you pay. I really didn’t mind the $60 deposit
Do not stay at this Motel, it’ a health hazardous.
I wouldn’t take a dead dog to this filthy motel I booked two rooms for three nights, after driving 15 hours. We checked in only enough time to see where the rooms were before we unloaded the car, opened my room door and the beds aren’t made, the floors is wet from moisture. My son goes to his room which is next door and there is visible mold all on the walls. We go back to the front desk with pictures to request a refund, the lady at the front desk gives us a refund but only for two days. They trying yo charge us for opening the doors and looking in the room. I should be charging them for the inconvenience. Very poor customer service, oh but I’m not done I will be reporting them!
Please do not stay here! This is a hazardous facility! We booked two rooms, the hallway was absolutely un breathable same as the rooms! Including MOLD ON THE WALLS! This place is not suitable and it’s a hazard to ppl.
I liked nothing. I switched rooms four times. Condom wrapper was found on my initial room floor. Blood spatter on several walls in a room. Smoke detectors beeping. Domestoc dispute in the hallway one of the nights. All kinds of hair over the floors. Each room I went in had a damp, unpleasant odor. Key card wasn't needed on multiple exterior doors.
Being surprised by a 50.00 CASH deposit on check in when nothing was posted on the website was disturbing. I don't usually carry cash anymore and it was most inconvenient!
The room was ok, but the hallway was filthy and smelled of marijuana! Likewise the parking lot.
I will avoid it in the future.

The room was good size with king size bed, refrigerator and microwave. However we didn't take advantage of those because we arrived late and left early.
I feel the place could have been cleaner, smelled better, pillows weren't all lumpy, be nice to have an elevator to get to your room rather than having to do all that walking.
