Not a good experience
The room had only one light in it. There was a hole in the bathroom door. No top sheet on one bed and pillowcase looked to be dirty. Electric base heater falling wall. In bathroom open bar of soap and we didn't open it. Bottle of shampoo was a partial bottle left over. In all we didn't stay!

On the website it says free water passes and when we got here it does not.
Than I paid for a king and they gave us a very very uncomfortable queen. Only one wood chair to sit in and the air conditioner is so old and loud.

Not worth the price ideal for being close to downtown but everything is bad. Got there at 2p wouldn’t let us check into 3 and we were the only car in the lot and people that stayed there overnight. Bed are very uncomfortable and at least hang the 24 inch tv on a wall was placed on a side table in corner.

I showed up at the motel and was told they didn't have a room for me even though my name was on their list. Apparently they gave it away to someone that paid ahead of time. Disgusting.

Filthy
we got there at 5 to check in note on the office door be back in 20 minutes so we waited as we watched 5 other people try the door finally called after 45 minutes she said 5 more minutes 15 minutes later they came . Checked in went to room it was filthy no towels air conditioner wouldnt work tv wouldnt work . Went back to office and asked to be refunded because of conditions of the place they were really nice about and said no problem i could have a refund. Its 5 days later they charged my account tried calling them the phone is discounted. My bank is disputing the charge . Lesson learned
