Very, very small, basic room. Floor was dirty, bathroom was pretty clean besides a big ball of pubic hair stuck to the wall. Towels were very old and felt like sandpaper. Worst part was the bed. The sheets were old, stained, and had holes burned in them. Very thin comforter had holes burned all in it. Pillows wete the flattest I've ever seen. Best part of the experience was the front desk guy. He was kind and helpful. Door only has one lock on it and with the property feeling very much like a no-tell motel, we were definitely ready to leave the next morning. Not a comfortable place, but if you need a place to lay your head, it works.

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.
