My experience overall with the motel was initially the front desk, clerk was polite when I initially checked in, however, after that, the room service far as housekeeping, it took my personal belongings which when I return from sightseeing, I noticed my wallet was missing and some other items, and when I confront the front desk regarding the situation They said they were going to do an investigation Never got back to me regarding my personal belongings. I was a terrible experience.
