I booked this motel based on the overall rating being pretty good for the price. It was not a good experience at all.
Pros:

I didn’t like anything about the property.

Cons:

It didn’t feel very safe. Not very clean. Smelled like smoke.

Pros:

Bed was comfortable. Towels were soft. The hotel is under renovation, so there were workmen everywhere and equipment laying around.

Cons:

No toiletries except soap was available. Not a huge deal, but we arrived late and were too tired to go buy what we needed. The room itself was clean and comfortable. Just know that the rest of the hotel is under renovation and is a bit messy. The staff were friendly and helpful.
