This motel was in a convenient location and the price was reasonable. However, it is showing its age, other people were loud, and I felt unsafe. Worst of all was the breakfast - donuts, sugary cereals, white bread, and no protein, not even peanut butter. I would not recommend unless you are on a very tight budget.

Room was musty. Sheets had holes in them. It was a basic room, nothing to brag about. When it mentioned breakfast, it was frozen waffles, cereal and pop tarts. Will I book again, probably not. It was just convenient

I was given a "suite" because the room I reserved was already taken, apparently. Side note: I called in advance for my room because my flight was delayed until midnight. Well, I get to the property and I am already regretting it. I was told the shower doesn't function but the tub was the best part! Wow... I get in there with the diabolical smell of cigarette smoke and linens from the 50s. Housekeeping was, loud, rude and unmannerly. I just cant... NEVER AGAIN. Mind you, I also paid over 700 for 3 nights... pshh..
