Didn't look at all like the photos

Pros: cheap, comfy bed, stable wifi, blackout/darkening curtains, window in the bathroom, friendly service, parking right outside the window. Cons: dirty fridge, no decor/atmosphere, bathroom fan didn't work, no lamp shades just bulbs, tv remote had dead, crusty batteries, loud creepy addict-type people being loud all night who live at the motel, can't have the curtains open because said people will see into the room and don't want to see them either. Was expecting something completely different from the photos. False advertising.

First room offered was not clean and very small- other room offered was good after we told manager. Building old and in need of updates and seems a bit shabby. Paid one price online earlier but was considerably cheaper when checked after check in - never told manager but it was annoying.
