Dreadful, keep driving
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

We left after 15 minutes due to the room stinking of smoke, cigarette burns on the bedding, people loitering outside our room, people going through the dumpster and people being able to see straight into our bathroom.

We were told a refund had been issued but turns out that was a big fat lie.

Pros:

Solo la grandezza della camera

Cons:

La posizione, la sporcizia e il quasi mezzo abbandono. Per non parlare del fatto che è stato l’albergo più costoso della mia vacanza e allo stesso tempo il peggiore dal punto di vista rapporto prezzo qualità. Zona molto brutta non mi sentivo al sicuro, ho viaggiato anche in India…solo per fare un confronto. Credo che nello stesso motel ci sia una specie di dormitorio/ostello infatti c’erano molte persone che stavano fuori/bel parcheggio/davanti a un’ala del motel. Non prenoterei nuovamente!
