2/10

Front desk lady is extremely rude. She thinks her place is a 4 Seasons when in reality its worse than an average Motel 6. Motel is old and run down. Room smelled like pee. Rooms have a 4 digit numerical code to enter to unlock the dead bolt and if you look at the numbers on the lock you can see what the 4 digits are because they are worn out on the keypad on the door. The actual front door handle to my room kept falling off. I couldnt get into my room on the second day and the hotel lady instead of saying sorry for the broken lock and handle said to me that I should just accept the situation and act cool to try to impress my partner who was with me. I still cant believe she tried to gaslight me. Stay away from this place.

1-night trip

8/10

The motel was clean and close to nearby shops for groceries and restaurants. It was on a busy street so during the day in the front room you could hear the traffic. The furniture in the unit was a little worn. The walk in shower in the bathroom was very large which was nice. For being a budget motel it was good overall.
