Gross, we returned past midnight and left by 8:00 am
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

This motel is grotesque. Our first room had a soiled bedspread and a heating issue. Heat was either at 70 degrees or 59 degrees. They did switch our room due the heating issue.

The next room had a stain on the pillow case and the bathroom was disgusting. We asked for a new pillow case and was told they did not have any.

When our Uber driver dropped us off he told us that “this is where the crack heads and hookers stay.

OK for one night stay. Watch your six.
Pros:

The bathroom door was broken near the floor. The security chain was broken and didn’t work. There was blood on the walls. No breakfast just coffee. Lotta strange characters hanging out.
