I don't look too hard at the cleanliness of motels in this price range. I bring my own cleaning supplies. I also don't sleep on their linens. I bring 2 blankets & my own pillows. The owners were very nice people. They're remodeling the motel so there's furniture from inside the rooms that are at the front of the motel all over the outside. It gave me pause at 1st, but don't judge a book, right? The room was fine. The a/c worked great & so did the mini fridge. There was plenty of outlets for my electronics. My room faced Popeye's drive thru so I heard New Orleans jazz all day & night which was great! My only real complaint was that someone left their crack pipe & brillo outside of my room. Please, if you're gonna do that type of thing keep it in your room. I don't want to see it!
