Meeehhhh!
Pros:

Location

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。

Location and quiet.

The room has an odor. It doesn’t smell fresh. The towels are dingy and the sheets were not that clean.

Pros:

性价比对比还是有点优势,一分钱一分货

Cons:

信用卡只是担保,酒店没有提前告知是收取100美金现金,而且这100美金就是房费并且不退,最好在预定的时候提前说明

Rude staff, overpriced, tiny room, but clean and the bed was comfy enough
Pros:

The blinds kept out the sunlight and it was clean

Cons:

I checked in very late and requested a one hour late check out and the employee said that would be fine and then the morning guy knocked on my door at 11am waking me up and demanding I leave immediately
