Don't ever stay at this hotel!! Disgusting, unsafe and awful employees.
Pros:

This was the worst motel I've ever stayed at. Woman at the front was awful, not friendly at all and could barely hear her through the plexiglass. Pictures of the motel were NOT AT ALL the actual motel. Room was musty and smelled like mold/mildew. And don't get me started on the migrant workers next to us having a party on Sunday night blasting music and hanging outside being extremely loud. Called 3 times to the front desk asking to tell them to turn off music (after the 10pm cut off) and they finally had to resort to calling the police.

Cons:

The entire place was a run down mess with questionable people staying there. Do NOT stay here, especially with children.

Fair, will probably not stay there again
Pros:

We liked the pool and location

Cons:

Housekeeping comes different hours and didn’t clean the room the one time they came in. The room was too small and the bed was way too small and very uncomfortable
