This is a motel not a hotel so I didnt have high expectations. The front desk employees were very nice. The breakfast was container juice (not individual) and cereal. Didnt have “breakfast” on site. Went to Starbucks down the street.

We had to cancel the stay because the rooms were not in livable conditions. The AC unit was completely dismantled and on the ground. The plumbing was very slow draining as well.
