The place is a hell hole, it’s dirty, smells horrible, dark, and it’s full of unhealthy activity. No cancellations or refunds according to the front desk. Please don’t stay there if you value your safety

Poor value. There wasn’t even a drinking cup (even disposable plastic). The tv only worked intermittently. No hair dryer. Bare hanging light bulb. Cracked bathtub repaired with duct tape. Need I go on?

The air conditioner threw materials when turned on. It made a noise that was so loud surely people walking past the motel on the sidewalk could hear. Staying here is not safe.
