Close for the Bills Game

In town for a Bills game needed an affordable place to sleep for one night. Staff at check in/ check out were pleasant . Room included fridge, microwave and coffee which was a surprise . The bed was so so small. Very uncomfortable for 2. Only 2 very limp pillows. The end table draw was filled with crumbs. Checked mattress for bedbugs. Appeared to be bed bug free, there was a lot of dust and hair on the boxspring and floor beneath the bed however. The shower and bathroom in general was small but clean. The toilet was EXCEPTIONALLY low to the ground. The worst part was the used bandaid on the floor on the side of/behind the toilet. Gross!!!! AC worked well although loud. The best part, the only part that makes this motel valuable, is its close proximity to the football stadium. It also has plenty of restaurants and stores near by. When exiting the parking lot be sure to travel to the left for shopping and dining. If you go to the right you will be entering into the poorer side of town. We ventured out there to go to Dairy Queen and it did not give off safe vibes! But to the left, we went to the pancake house for breakfast the next morning and that area was comfortable.

After checking in to friendly staff, I drove back to the motel units and quickly realized that many of the rooms were long term rentals by the lawn furniture and grills out in front of them. The residents above my room spent most of their time sitting outside smoking weed and socializing with their neighbors. There is also what appeared to be a lot on the property where semi-truck drivers can park and sleep in their rigs. One of the drivers spent over an hour drinking at a picnic table while arguing loudly with someone on his phone. He then proceeded to pass out on the picnic table. I can easily see how elderly or other travelers would feel unsafe here.

My first room given wasn't ready. The bed wasn't made and the lights were on like someone just left. The second room was a free ungrade but the floors were filthy as if they were not mopped for awhile.
