Room was marginally cleaned. To enter the building you had to walk under a dripping air conditioner. And to top it off there were fleas in the carpet. The place is a joke.

Best to go elsewhere

Lower quality motel. Key cards didn’t work. After three tries, they moved us to another non-smoking room that smelled of stale smoke the moment we walked in. By this time it was very late and we were tired so we stayed in that room… not really sure another room would smell different anyway. Woke this morning stuffed up with headache but could still smell the stale smoke. Room was clean and had all the usual amenities including a new TV that was only BLACK & WHITE!!! Tried everything I could immediately think of but decided for the amount of time we’d watch… we would revert to the 60’s and watch in B&W!!!Was able to get 3 cubes from the ice machine! On a positive note the pet fee was a very reasonable @ $25
