DO NOT STAY HERE! I booked the room through Expedia because it was close to the Hard Rock where we were going for a concert. The room was absolutely DISGUSTING! There were flies, every surface (including the walls) was covered in a layer of filth. The sheets were stained and there was only a thin sheet covering a ripped, disgusting mattress. The door handle/lock was loose and didn't feel secure. There were 5 police cars out front. We couldn't stay there it was so terrible. The owner refused to give us a refund even though we didn't even stay. Oh, they charged $20 to park there too.

I guess it was ok for the type of Motel it was. Too noisy, mirror fell off the wall in the middle of the night, when we told the owner, he acted as if he didn’t care. People kept knocking at the door, I guess looking for previous guests. WILL NEVER STAY THERE AGAIN!!
