The motel required a $200 cash deposit, which required a late night ATM run. Most stays ask for a "cash" deposit but allow for it to be charged to the credit card. Very noisy and loud music from other people staying at the property. Spend the few extra dollars and go elsewhere!

Worst stay

There was roaches in the room. The refrigerator or a/c didn't work. Rotten food outside the window. The manager wouldn't move us to another room. The manager wouldn't refund us any money.
