The location wasn’t bad

Pros:

Booking last minute

Cons:

Keys demagnetized every time o left the room. Tom had cigarette burns on comforter, TV didn't work. Neither did vending machines. Staff thought I was rude for wanting a room key that worked well enough to let me get to my bathroom on time

Awful
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The place was run down, in need of a paint job. There were ants in my room. There were also uncovered wires in the bathroom. I had to try to sleep with the constant light coming into my room from a bright light outside. Also I had to deal with noisy pipes and noisy heater/air conditioner. Unfortunately my room was next to the laundry/snack room. I had to listen to the door slamming all times of the day and night. This is not a place that I would recommend nor stay at again.

Well enough for what we needed, just wish the room was able to be darkened at night.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Very bright inside the room at night, the curtains do not shut out the light.
It’s a very basic motel. Not much to be expected.
