Stressful being told that they would give your mon
We were greeted and being told that our room was not available that they were overbooked and they would give us our money back. The manager came and then found a room for us to have as a king bed but would bring a extra bed in so my daughter and I could share the room that never turned up. Manager was friendly. I did what she could do.

The room smelled bad, there was a hole on the ceiling of the shower stall, anything metal was rusted and there were many homeless people across the street. I didn’t feel safe

I got there late in the afternoon and the clerk was very efficient to process my booking. Had a good rest for the night before leaving early in the morning.

Staff were friendly and helpful and the bedding and linens were very clean. The bed was a bit hard on my back and that is the only reason why I didn’t give it a higher rating.

2/10 Poor

We found bedbugs around 10pm and the motel office closes at 9pm so there was no one to assist us. This is awful customer service and a safety concern for the property and all the occupants. We had to leave in the middle of the night and drive to a brand name hotel and pay again, where we knew we would has assistance should anything happen. I expect a full refund.

An older property that could use some updating. It was VERY clean, though. There was a definite lack of plug-ins and the one by the bed didn't work.
