It worked for a one night stopover, but definitely not a destination motel.
Pros:

The front desk guy was great. Very pleasant and helpful. He was helpful with finding a room with a view of my car, which was important to me. He assisted me with my bags to the 2nd floor.

Cons:

Location was sketchy. The facility itself was aged, with obvious signs of use. My room was peppered with cigarette burns over the furniture, and over the bathroom sink and tub edge. The room was sparse with no table or chairs. I noticed construction workers seemed to be staying long term.

Horrible
Pros:

No carpets in rooms

Cons:

The main area and hallways smelled of mold and dog. There was only 1 towel in the room ( no hand towels or washcloths) the floor mat towel was dirty. No pillow cases. There wasn’t any batteries in the TV remote and a light bulb was out. We took multiple trips to front office to get these things, no apologies or real attempts to make our stay better. When we got up in the morning there wasn’t any cockroaches in the bathroom.
