It was about what you expect from a small, value motel. It was accepably clean, I felt safe, but it was susceptible to any and all outside noise, and there was some mild damage to parts of the room. Small space, but had sockets and USB sockets by the beds, and a Roku TV.

Pros. There was nothing I liked in this hotel. Just since we couldn’t get our money back they changed one of our rooms.

Cons. It is nothing like the pictures and there are only a few parking spaces for the hotel so it’s first come first serve. The rooms had such a bad odor to them. The rooms were dirty and just disgusting. The people that stood there as well were really loud and no one did anything about it. I’m so displeased with this stay and never going back. The screens from the hotel are either missing or it looks like someone tried breaking in. It’s definitely not worth it here.

Pros. Comfortable beds. Free parking, if you dont mind someone blocking you in.

Cons. Badly patched holes in the wall. No space to talk around the room. Toilet was on the opposite side of the room as the sink. Additionally the last night some decided to throw a hotel party, woke up my 2 year old.
