Underwhelming motel

Motel is in a part of town where many buildings have become abandoned. The few restaurants and businesses were below average in cleanliness or quality. Checking in was an ordeal as the two check-in people spoke no English and kept confusing my name with another person. I asked about getting ice and was told to take my bucket to the restaurant next door and get some. The room was fairly clean but nothing special.

Not worth it at all.

Not impressed. We made reservations 3 days prior to our arrival for 2 beds for myself my wife and my grandson only to have all 3 of us sleep on a double wide bed. Also there wasn’t a toilet seat on the toilet but management took one out of another room The shower was really very dirty.
