Nice clean comfy room but didn’t feel welcome

Clean comfortable room. Short drive to dining and shopping. Staff was very nice. The problems were the harsh polices about check-in and check-out, and the unfriendly tone of the posted notice about them. I didn’t even know what they were trying to say with the thing about a half hour (see pic). Worse: all the free AC outlets are blocked off so you can't plug things into them. To charge devices you have to unplug the TV, microwave, or fridge.

How do people rate this place a 10?

The lobby smelled terrible. There is an abandoned building next door. There were people arguing outside at 5 am. Some questionable people living or staying there. The bed was uncomfortable and had 3 small flat pillows for 2 people. I would never stay here again.

Beware, Abandoned building next door!

Apparently, Hotels.com does not vet there properties well and isn't concerned about the safety of their clients. This property is located next to an abandoned, boarded up property and is not in a good area. We drove up to the motel and there were people hanging out on the balcony, and the property was not well kept. I contacted Hotels.com to cancel our reservation because I did not feel safe in tbe area and was advised the owner of the hotel would still charge us because we did not cancel within the alloted time. The safety of my family is worth more than the money spent on that motel. The pictures shown online do not accurately reflect the property, Buyer beware!
