It is a Budget motel not in the greatest area. The rooms for the most part were clean though questionable. Parking was not an issue whatsoever, for the area it was in I am not surprised by anything but probably wouldn't stay there again.

The man at the front desk is extremely rude. Makes assumptions off race and gender that you will be having “ guest over “ makes threats of charging your card if they suspect “ guest “. Room was smelly like smoke even with a non smoking policy. Floor was dirty, baseboards had not been wiped in years. There was black mold in the shower and a mysterious blood looking spot on the wall. The area was less than appropriate for a family hotel. Adult workers strolling the street and the parking lot sounded like a car show on multiple occasions.

The room was decent but on the second night, my neighbor was very loud and we could hardly sleep. The walls are thin and if there's a brawl, you are definitely not sleeping

I didn't have any hot water in the shower my entire stay. When I told the front desk on my 1st day they told me to let the water run 15-20 minutes. That definitely didn't help. And when I mentioned it when I checked out a different front desk attendant told me maintenance had been working on it & likely revereded it.

First room I checked into had roaches inside. I called the front desk and they stated that they had someone in there for a month and that was the reason why there were roaches. They swapped me rooms but still didn’t take away that dirty feeling.
