Second time staying there. It is clean, conveniently located, and well priced. What i didn't like was that some other guests started arguing loudly at 5 am and while the hotel staff did ask them to quiet down, the arguing continued for an hour. I packed up and left in a hurry and left a scarf behind. When I called to ask about it, they couldnt licate it. :(

This motel was bare bones. No blanket on the bed, just a thin dingy sheet with a thin bed spread that had cigarette burns. Hate to know when the last time it was washed. What towels there were (no wash clothes), were also thin and dingy. Toilet was clogged, floor was not very clean. There was trash scattered around property.
