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.

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!!!???
