Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place was extremely noisy due to the people staying in a downstairs room. They had their door open and yelling and smoking weed. There is no kitchen or dinette, just a small fridge which was not even on or barely working, and a microwave on top of it. There's no closet, just a place with 5 hangers. No shampoo or conditioner, no ironing board or iron. It's a cheap place, but it could at least provide some amenities to the visitors staying. Parking is terrible if your not there by 7pm

Clean room, modern, no shampoo though and for some god aweful reason every time they open the trash bin or something in the parking lot it sounds like a car crash outside the rooms. It woke us up twice during our stay and it was INSANELY loud.

we got there pretty early, got there at about 6 am when check-in was at 3pm. so we explain the situation to the front desk dude and he was quite rude about the fact that we were so early. in his words we were “beyond early” and he was just overall bitter and unwelcoming! i was prepared to pay money to get into our room early so we could rest up for the day, but please tell me how we went from an 400 dollar check in to a 700 dollar check in. makes no sense, i understand the deposit down and the early fees but that would still land us only at around 550. dirty motel, stains on the walls and ceilings, bathroom light didn’t work at all, shower was creaking and felt unstable and the water pressure was bad! definitely an awful room for the amount of money we had to pay.
