Good for the price
It was a good hotel for the price. AC was super loud though and the beds are very uncomfortable.

AWFUL
We expected Queen/king size bed. We had two double beds that were the MOST uncomfortable beds that we have ever had!
We were there two nights. Beds were not made. Wet towels in the tub. Should have taken a photo, but I didn’t. Imagine worse possible conditions.

Unclean
The motel was unclean and smelled bad. We were delayed at check in because the desk clerk was having a heated discussion with another customer. We should not have stayed here.
