Disliked: Cleanliness
There’s a sign at the counter indicating that there’s breakfast starting at 7 AM and it also states online but there is no breakfast offering. When you stood in the shower, the water would rise around your ankles. The walls are thin beds are reasonably comfortable and it was good for late arrival and early departure but overall a pretty mediocre place to stay.

For a nonsmoking property, there were a lot of smokers outside the guest rooms, making everything in the motel smell like cigarettes. There were a bunch of kids just hanging out on the sidewalk and outside guest rooms day and night. Pool was closed for maintenance.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The place was surprisingly comfortable - a decommissioned Days Inn. We were perfectly content there. The pool was green with algae, however, and things were somewhat run down. And on checkout they used a small, easily treatable stain on one sheet to justify a 50 dollar charge. The facility is comfortable but keep. your eyes open and maybe don't swim.
