Stay away. The only good point was hot water with good water pressure. Beds were soft due but this is due to age and use. Area is super sketchy. And has horrible vibes. There were homeless people rummaging through the trash. Very noisy. People jumping in rooms above and children playing soccer in the parking lot. I literally had to wake up the employees to check in after ten p m. Thor has a signed.How about using the dead bolt safety.But when you look at it, you can notice half the screws have been removed or are loose. The room has a refrigerator that is decently sized.But when opened it smells of chemical clean products. Tge coin operated laundry consists of two washers i did not see the drawers because the room was being used by a family who had a ton of laundry, it would not let me in. The shower yes, vote looked clean, but on my second day it was.Weeping some sort of liquid. I would not stay here again, not even if they paid me.
Half broken safety latch
No idea what this seeping stuff is
Old stickers and dirt
Rusted shower head and hime made curtain rings

The motel has an outdoor pet area, which is nice to have while traveling with a dog. The room was clean, bed was okay for comfort. The sink in the bathroom was clogged and smelled foul while running the water, but the toilet and shower worked just fine. No mini fridge for drinks.
