The good: AC cold Air, Hot Water worked well. The Bad: Poorly managed. No Coffee, Bed mattress, sheets pillow covers reused/odor. Had to pick up a room coffee machine, it had previously used coffee glued, small roaches inside. Front desk so helpless, naive, like no issues!!!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is fine if you are looking to save money. But it is bare bones. No extra touches. Example, no tissues. Walls are bare. Quality is below what I expect from a 4-star facility. 4 out of 10, maybe. 4 out of 5, never.

Not bad for a motel

We were on a weekend ball trip with my daughter. It was good for one night and very clean and remodeled rooms. Outside environment was a bit sketchy but we didn’t have any issues
