The room was neglected, dirty walls and mold in the bathroom walls. I remember staying here a few years ago and wasnt a 5 star but it was decent and clean. When i did my booking it said 2 queen beds and we got 2 fuil size beds. Floors were also really dirty. Wasnt comfortable laying on the bed because it felt dirty too. Not sure if they even change the sheets. The heater made so much noise it was scary.

It's a motel and you get what you pay for. If you need a place to sleep for the night and take a shower, it's fine. Front desk didn't say one word to me as i checked in. Just used hand gestures. Room was wiped downed but it was not clean. 9:30am house keeping starts knocking at your door every 30mins. I will not be back.

Room felt neglected. It was a non-smoking room, but the odor of cigarette smoke was overwhelming could not turn on air vents because the smoke smell would become enhanced beds are long overdue to be changed. The only convenience is how close it is to the tubing.
