It was a motel experience. Cleanliness was below average. Service was subpar and the room didn’t have a fresh smell to it. I needed a cheap room for the night and I got what I paid for.

I didn’t even get out of my car because I was alone and scared. There were people EVERYWHERE in the parking lot. Sitting on cars, blasting music, riding their bikes all around, approaching other vehicles. There were also 3 smashed up cars in the parking lot. Didn’t look like a safe area at all! Didn’t stay here, got a different hotel.
