Better than expected
Much better than expected. Nice large walk-in shower and new bathroom. Clean remodel done with quality. Comfortable mattress larger of mini refrigerator with separate freezer. Beside the narrow layout of the structure n parking lot of an old school motel extra parking in the rear.

Dont do it
The property was dirty, tweakers everywhere. There was a dirty syringe on the ground my dog almost stepped on it. Told the owner and he dis nothing about it. Didn't even try and pic it up. Stayed there sll hole trip. Room was also very dirty. We had to do are own cleaning to feel comfortable. Will never say at this location or recommend to anyone

6/10 Good

The motel was quiet and clean and safe. The room was a little overpriced, pretty small for 2 beds but good enough. The expedia page says "Coffee and tea in common areas". There was no coffee, and the common area was locked. No one was there when I checked out at 8:30 AM and needed to ask about my deposit. That doesn't qualify as a "24-hour front desk". Also, there was no mention about a $50 deposit other than a handwritten note taped to the glass which I didn't notice until after the card had been authorized.

Our room was dirty. Food and stuff all on the floor. The shower had mud/sand in it. They was a big bag of trash left just outside our door for a vast majority of the day. We did ask them to come in and clean the room, they never did. I will NEVER return or recommend this location

The place was quiet, and the bed was comfortable. The cleanliness is what I wasn’t happy about, the floors, walls, and bathroom were dirty. If the cleanliness was better I would have given it a good rating.
