The motel seems to be improving; considering previous reviews. Our room was clean and appeared to be freshly painted, with a tidy bathroom and fresh towels. The in-room kitchen had a good selection of appliances and utensils, though we only used the fridge. However, we found dead bugs in the tub and shower window on our second night, which was unpleasant. Noise from a loud argument in the neighboring room made it hard to sleep. On a positive note, members of staff were polite and courteous during our stay. Overall, a mixed experience with some positive aspects but room for improvement.

Meh

Check in went very well. They let me check in at 11:00am, even though check ln wasn't until 3:00. The manager was very friendly and helpful. The room was as basic as could be. A VERY hard bed in a very small room. The water in the tub couldn't be shut off, so it ran constantly and formed a layer of mold in the tub.

The property was unsafe and the room was unclean. There was no staff present upon arrival.I had to locate a staff member to check-in and then she disappeared after I check-in. Expedia should have these properties inspected before placing them on their website. This property was definitely not what was represented on the website.
