It was dirty, the whole bed and bathroom were full of hair, they don't change the sheets, as soon as you arrive the bed is exaggeratedly full of hair and the smell of cigarettes is unbearable. Not recommended

Stayed 1 night

The room stank of stale cigarette smoke. The floor felt slimy. A deafening, blinding fire alarm went off 3 or 4 times throughout the night. In the morning, people argued loudly outside my door. I was not offered a receipt, and it slipped my mind, so now I wonder what I'll be charged. On the plus side, the air conditioner worked, and provided white noise that helped me sleep.

It's not a place where you expect to have a 5 star rating, to be honest motel 6 is 5 stars compared to this place, our key had to be switched out twice because it wouldn't allow us in our own room. I found a dead roach on the window sill. However this place is exactly what I expected it to be, being as we chose it as a cheap motel to rest our head. Also it is a $25 charge for late check out. Not worth it after having to change our key twice, once being we arrived from NY CITY at 4am. We were visiting from LA California. 3star over all rating is fair.

The Property is located in a quite clean neighborhood. There are limited Food Options nearby and two Gas Stations that serve Hot Food & Cold Sandwiches. The Motel is just that NO Bells or Whistles but I got a good night sleep.
