it was a worst experience you could ever imagine. They have hidden fees as soon as you walk in and make you pay $100 deposit I was baffled because it doesn’t say anything like that on the website and parking is not first day per night so beware in the bathroom window not that clean we we had bugs in there. It used to be a day cop inn to watch out on that too

It was advertised as a hotel but it was a motel. Our room reeked of pot. The towels had yellow stains, and black hair on them. We also had to pay $10 per day for parking. Do not stay here.
