Was literally in the room for 30 seconds. And still somehow got charged full price. The only staff is the older white woman who lives in the apartment across from the office who is never paying attention has a horrible attitude. The police were called while I was there for whatever reason no sympathy told them. I would like my Money as I had children with me on this trip, but we’re still charged. They were bugs in the room. The room was not swept. The beds were not made and somehow this is acceptable.

The staff is very nice and the motel is in a safe location, however, you need to be okay with the lack of room cleanliness. The bed sheets and such were definitely clean, just lack of floor/kitchenette/bathroom were not the best.
