A group of Spanish guys came on a Tuesday had loud music from 6pm-3am, drinking beers being really loud, and then trashed the areas where people walk by throwing their beer bottles and breaking glass everywhere. Besides that everything was great!

Disliked: Amenities
Nothing special to like. Just a basic motel, but no in room amenities at all. Was labelled as a non-smoking room but smelled strongly of smoke. Bed was uncomfortable and on a metal platform that made a booming sound every time I rolled over. I won't stay there again.

Dirty run down room!
Dirty floors, dirty bathroom, horrible smoke smell in a nonsmoking room! Glass all over the driveway area. Overpriced for a very old and torn down room with mold in it. Dead bolt sis not lock and toilets were so dirty- gross! The people were loud and obnoxious all night and the police cars showed up in the morning! Worst 130$ I ever spent in my life!
