The Motel is very old and in need of substantial update. The first room they put me in had chipped and missing tiles from bathroom entry as well as bits of the carpet ripped up and sticking out of the floor. At first I thought there was something stuck on the floor but when one of the service people came they said it was ripped carpet and a number of the rooms are like that. Also booked for 4 nights and paid on check in but then after first night needed to cancel the last night. When I asked about a refund they said because I booked through Expedia I would have to take it up with them which I did and Expedia contacted the management and were told policy is no refunds which considering I gave two days notice I think is pretty poor.
