I wasn’t expecting too much from a room that was priced this low, however, this room wasn’t worth it even if it had been free. It was somewhat clean. After driving all day I just crashed and decided to shower in the morning. Before the shower I went out for coffee and when I came back to the room, #115, without using the key I was able to open my door. I tried it a couple times and sure enough the door did not lock. No key was needed. I then proceeded to shower. The single knob to turn the water on with only spun around. No water, no shower. Also, from a large vent in the ceiling, water was dripping out onto the floor. I put a towel there to absorb the water so I wouldn’t slip and fall After taking a bird bath in the sink, I left and told the young woman at the office that this room should not be rented out until these things were fixed. If I make this trip again in the future, I’ll stop at a rest stop and sleep in my car. Avoid this motel.

Jorge was very helpful and very nice, the room was clean, the breakfast was small, but not bad. The bed was too hard for myself, but my husband loved it. There are several good options around. Good stay for the price.

I expected the accommodations to be bare bones but I was surprised that the room was not clean. The desk chair was filthy and when I tried to call the front desk the phone was sticky and the receiver glued to the base, plus it did not even have a dial tone. The bathroom toilet was open and looked like it had not been cleaned. Then in the middle of the night, the smoke alarm started going off every few minutes. Since I could not call the front desk, I ended up wearing my airpods which mercifully toned down the incessant beeping from the alarm. Luckily, I was there for only 1 night.

Dirty rooms, door didn't lock and was able to be open from the outside which we didn't find out until later wasn't actually secure. Fortunately we only stayed one night but that was extremely unsafe and unsettling. On a more minor note, we had a pretty much useless universal remote for our television. The top of the microwave also became really hot when we used it. Very much seems like a fire hazard.
