All I can say is don’t do it. Smelled terrible, stains on the mattress. Check-in and check right out. The reservation was only for one night but rather not.
The room has been recently renovated, and was remarkably clean. The “window banger” A/C unit was very loud, but otherwise, the interior of the room was excellent.
This is definitely a no frills motel experience, and the exterior of the building still needs work. Parking was convenient, but with relatively small spaces.
