If you are wanting a cheap motel for the night, this is it. Just keep in mind that it’s cheap for a reason. Upon arrival, we noticed a used needle/syringe on the ground. The sheets of the bed were stained so we had to ask for new ones. The shower leaked, there was no mini fridge/kitchenette, no lamps or additional lighting. Not a big deal for a one night stay but maybe for longer periods. The actual place was dirty beyond repair (the stairs, the railings, the storage rooms, the roof overhang). Overall, we had a good stay - but if you’re looking for comfort over price, this is not the place.

A resident drug dealer, there is a drug dealer assistant directly in front of the building directly where the property ends not even a half foot on sidewalk the addicts are making there purchases. Mobile traffic drive in park and proceed to the top floor last room east. Make there purchase while two or three obviously overnighters get lit and the assistant is re-up. You get 1 towel, no face rag, one small bar of soap. Mostly the dealers is calling the shot. He's selling dinner plates at $10.00. The hooker will stop you on the stairs to solicit... I literally fell down the steps with my food and some juices I had purchased at the gas station. I would never never never never utilize this place as it last resort because of my bad experience at the motel 6 yet again for one nightmare to another
