Good stay but beware of the noise

The room was very clean. Bed was extremely hard as were the pillows, so not restful for me personally. Unfortunately there were a lot of loud people on my end of the motel. Music, drinking, smoking and shouting. Glad I was on the third floor so I was a bit separated from it all. The trash, beer bottles and cigarette butts everywhere is not a good look for a place that could actually be really nice.

The inside edge of the sink that you could only see from the mirror reflection was entirely lined with black mold. There were a lot of people hanging out in their cars in the parking lot smoking and drinking. I would not stay here again.

Fast efficient check in. Clean room and bath. Only reason I gave 4 stars was the bed. Cheap and lumpy w no support. My backs been hurting all day! But had a microwave,fridge and safe. Another negative is no coffee in room. Overall a nice clean inexpensive room.
