Don’t recommend this place

Filthy motel, nothing like in the photos. Outdated, mold in the bathroom; tub, shower curtain. Room smells cigarette as well as the entire hallway. I would not stay here again or recommend to anyone, especially if you’re a solo traveler, don’t do it!

Did not appreciate the services at all, not friendly and why didn’t my key card work at 3-4 am a couple times, when I needed to get back in to sleep. And I guess the TVs all didn’t work for some reason.
