A place to avoid
The place was almost empty- only 3 or 4 people staying in the motel. I can see why. Very run down. Absolutely horrible king sized bed that should have been retired many years ago. Room was boiling hot since the wall AC unit had not been running. It took nearly 4 hours for the room to cool down to a tolerable extent. Room fridge was just slightly cool
