Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The front desk staff were friendly enough, but the 50s motel hasn’t had an investment this century. A low budget inn close enough to the stadium for football gamedays. The neighborhood ain’t great, but not as bad as advertised- it’s on its own fenced compound and there’s no reason to walk anywhere.

We are those that go out of town for a purpose and are basically in our room for a few hours. So paying for luxury is not required. This place is as advertised, older and cheap. But the room was clean including the bathroom. The bed was fine, the staff are nice. Fit our needs just fine.
