I strongly urge travelers to stay away from this motel
Pros:

The location was near where I needed to be.

Cons:

Where to start? The office staff was foreign and hard to understand. The room door key was extremely difficult to operate / intermittent. The outside temp was 96 degrees. On arrival the air conditioning was OFF - the room was oppressively hot and it took over 2 hours to become tolerable. There was no clothes bar with clothes hangers. There was a dead bug on the sink. There was only one sheet on the bed instead of the traditional two. No complementary shampoo. The soap was so thin it had cracked - at home I throw away bars of soap when they get that small. I am 76 yo. Safety is important and I did not feel particularly safe. There is more, but the attached photo of the plate on the door sums it up.
