Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Stayed at the Peter Allen Motel and honestly, it was exactly what you’d expect for the price—cheap, but it shows. The room felt old, tired, and not particularly clean. It definitely hasn’t had any love in a long time. While I wasn’t expecting luxury, the condition of the place made it a bit uncomfortable. I’m also surprised by some of the higher-rated reviews—it’s hard to see how this place earns anything more than a 4, let alone glowing praise. If you’re after basic and budget, it does the job. Just don’t expect much else.
