Cons:

Bed is hard, it has an odor and I’m a return renter and I always get the same room which is behind the soda machine which is noisy.

A complete waste of time svd effort to get my money back
Cons:

I was charged by the website and and again when I checked in. The owner said that it was just a hold for reservation and wouldn’t give me my money back. So I was charged twice and then lied to by the front desk and eatable to get it reversed. The website hook was no help at all and either was the motel.

寝るだけならOK。初めての旅行ならやめた方が良い
Pros:

普通のモーテルだった。

Cons:

予約でカードが使えるとなっていて、モーテルの窓口にもカードマークがあったが、現金のみと言われた。また予約で表示された価格より高かった。
