Pillows were too small and there were only two per bed. Floors need work and the outside had people just standing between buildings. Not the best but not the worst either.

It’s a Average cheap motel. But I didn’t like how our key card was always deactivated and we would have to go to get it reactivated. And the place is a little dated.

You get what you pay for. Its cheap but staff was dismissive, area was unsafe, smells heavily of weed and cigarettes, rooms where unclean, housekeeping came in while I was still booked in and attempted to take my beer, poured out my energy drink. Also dont order food while here, door dash or others will steal it.
