Nice clean place but it could be a little cheaper
Pros:

It's very clean.
The shower is large so it's easy to get a nice shower without banging into the shower curtain.
Good water pressure.
Everything is tiled so it's a nice clean place.
Towels were adequate and those were also nice and clean.

Cons:

The rooms are a little small for the price.
If it was about $15 cheaper I would say that would be about right.
I wish they provided some shampoo they only had a little mini bar of soap.

Bad
Cons:

I booked a room for my son who is struggling with homelessness, but his room was denied. I even paid but the charge did not show up. If motels turn away homeless individuals, what good are they!!!???

Don't ever stay here!
Pros:

absolutely nothing

Cons:

The room smelled like an old person. There were roache bodies in the bathroom and in the shower. We were advised that the police would come because we had family in the room. We were then harassed by the male owner of the facility stating that he was going to call the police on us for the remainder of the night. At ten thirty, we had received three separate knocks on the door say negro's checkout time. I was concerned because it was thirty minutes before Checkout.
