The motel was close to the event we attended, so a plus on that. However, the motel is located in a kind of sketchy area, but we had no issues and felt fairly safe. There was a noisy group that came in around 2AM, did not appreciate their rudeness. The room was OK, the shower had a weird, springy bottom, made balance a little tricky. The motel could use a makeover and clean up the area around it. Worked well for our needs and the price was good.

Do not stay here. There is a homeless camp just outside the property. Actually right in front of where you park your car. Police were called the day before but they all came back. Furniture and debris all over the place. I was traveling by myself and did not feel safe. Moved to a different hotel. Couldn’t get a refund.

Outside was worn down, but not terrible. Lobby has missing ceiling tiles over the food. Just not appealing. Rooms were ok. Blankets and sheets were clean. The room was smelly and hot upon arrival and the remote was missing. Shower was ok. Nice clean towels.

There were over 20+ stains on the comforter, some showed signs that the comforter was never cleaned. There were long, black hairs stuck in the towel rack. The hair dryer was covered in brown splashes of dried liquid. The couch was stained with white streaks. I had to leave within 5 minutes and get a different hotel room. Was not given a refund, credit, or any sort of accommodation from the hotel.
