Check in staff was friendly but the room was dirty and in need of repairs. The floor was broken in several places, the toilet roll holder was broken, the mismatched furniture looked like it was pieced together from thrift shops. The bathroom was dirty with hairs in the tub and on the floor and I squashed at least 5 ants before I even used the toilet. For the same price, I switched to a different motel down the street that was clean and included breakfast.
