Old, in need of some TLC

The hotel is older. The outside areas are filthy. The pool is covered but looks very trashy. The price is good, but you get what you pay for. The room was ok for me by myself, but definitely wouldnt bring a family or a female. Carpet in room would leave your bare feet brown. Over all probably wouldn't choose the motel again. John Smith probably had cleaner accommodations in his time. I went for price, and got what I paif for.

The property is in a good location, the rooms are livable with necessary utilities. For the price you can't ask for more. Although it could have been a little cleaner i suppose...
