Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room had a very nasty smell like an animal was dead inside. When i called the front desk the rep was so rude very bad attitude . I went to the office to request a different room. The night was horrible a couple upstairs fought , argued all night long like they were drugged or drunk . No security guards, no employees present. It was a horrible experience. Never again , I guess it’s true what they say “ you get what you pay for “ it wasn’t that cheap to have that experience.

Check in/out was a breeze. Very quiet (choose the 2nd floor). Beds are quite uncomfortable. Appears a lot of mobile construction workers use this accommodation. If coming back to the motel late, there are often people along the tree line in the back of the motel smoking.

I appreciated how clean the the room was. Even under a UV light, there was very little residue showing up. It was in places you would expect, but also that you'd expect to be cleaned better. Light switches, the TV remote and telephone. My biggest complaint is that there is no coffee maker in the room. Yes, there is coffee available 24/7 in the lobby of the office, but I'd much rather make my own coffee in my room (I bought a small coffee machine for just such an occasion}

We stayed at this motel end of July. When we got back to our home I noticed bites but thought they were mosquito bites.after a while I searched our luggage bags that we used for the weekend and found dead bed bugs. This is super upsetting
