Pros:

Very run down motel. I’d struggle to give it a one star. The room was very dated with heavily stained carpets
Bed was uncomfortable with stained pillows and quilt. Also the quilt smelt of urine. Bathroom floor tiles cracked and a foul smell coming from the toilet.
Front doors didn’t seem safe.
I would not recommend anyone stay at this motel.

Pros:

Not worth the amount we paid. We stayed one night as it was convenient, but the experience was far from comfortable. The property is in serious need of a facelift, and the lack of air-conditioning made the room extremely stuffy.

The bed was terrible — we could feel every spring in the mattress, making it the worst we’ve ever slept on. There was no comfort in the room at all.

The only positive was the check-in process: it was smooth, and the staff member was friendly and helpful.

Unfortunately, I will not be staying here again.
