Uncomfortable and rundown, but mostly clean

Worst motel I stayed at. I’ve stayed at about 5 different ones before, so my experience isn’t extensive, but I’m not a first-timer, either. Cons: - Worst sleep I ever had: pillows hard as a rock, itchy blanket, bedding had holes in it. - Worst conditions I’ve seen: chipped paint, paint drops in various places, no closet, no towel racks, no drawers, just a few shelves that barely worked for my personal items, only one trash can in bathroom, one $50 office chair. - Staff doesn’t clean hard-to-reach places, so my dust allergies were going haywire. - Walls are thin, so even then it feels like they got decent noise insulation for windows to block the sound of traffic from outside, I definitely heard the couple next door chatting away at 4am. Pros - Staff was helpful and available - They do a daily clean, and it was clean where it mattered: bedding, floors, etc. - Great price for the area Neutral - Safety: the location feels sketchy as you drive to it and see homeless folks and some rundown buildings, although I never actually felt unsafe while there, and I think they got cameras, so take that as you will. - Wall AC unit works well, but is loud. Just typical motel AC situation. Conclusion: The sleep situation was bad enough that I’d never go back. The rest wasn’t great, but not dealbreakers, in my opinion. So if you’re a tightwad and bring your own pillow, then maybe this place could work for you.
