Cockroaches, very very dirty bathroom, no wifi, warm fridge. Overall, horrible experience. Spend the extra money to go somewhere nicer. Not worth the low price at all. It looked like housekeeping didn’t even clean between guests…. The bathroom sink had someone else’s hair in it, and caked on chunks in it. Toilet had stains in it. Awful… even for a motel.
