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!

Pros:

Nice clean quite stay, Denny's and Jack in the box in Walking distance.

Cons:

Loved my room nice and large. The room can use another clothing rod at the entry way to hang more clothing. It could use another mirror to view yourself. Needs more hooks in the bathroom to hang a robe, gown or used towels that need to dry. The shower leaks, it needs to be sealed around the bottom. Other than that it was a pleasant stay
