Thankfully, the bedsheets were clean except for the stray hair. The motel is occupied by permanent residence who are coming and going at all hours with sketchy looking people loitering about. Walls are paper sin and you can hear conversations from every direction. The towels were dirty. Being the cheapest option around you certainly get what you pay for but honestly anything more than $50 is too much for this motel. For a few dollars more I’m sure you’re overnight experience will be a lot better at Motel 6 and I recommend doing so. Not a place to bring your family.

Outstanding property for dog-travellers. Would do the Bungalows again, how many hotels have this much outdoor walking area?
