Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
the windows of the adjacent room and mine shared a balcony and it would be so easy for anyone to just come in thru the balcony window. I have too many belongings with me that are important thus trip and did not leave the room at all for lack of trust. Also when waiting to check in (check in is 3pm although there was no one else waiting to check in- they only book rooms in second floor and there's no elevator) No one offered to help with my luggage/ but they did come bang on the door twice and wouldn't say anything til I opened the door. A man screamed at the top of his lungs so many profanities that it got scary. I think it was the owner or a worker there. I cleaned their floor up a bit. Cheap TV/ not smart.

An old school motel with a great family vibe. It is more like staying with a favorite aunt than a motel.
