Clean but not a good stay

It was clean but the bathroom had dead bugs in the shower and toilet. The bed was garbage, slept in a 4 inch deep pit the mattress was shot. Outdoor lighting was so bright it illuminated the room at night, not conducive to getting a good nights rest.

I have pictures but unable to post on this review. There was 5 cars in the parking lot, they must have given me the smallest room in the room in the motel. There was just enough space for the double size bed and there was not a right angle to be seen with its odd configuration. The two windows had bars on them and it abuts a street in a residential area. The heater did not work

Room was clean, but the property is obviously old and in need of updating. Mattress very hard and pillows very flat. No A/C, only a very noisy fan. Front desk staff were friendly.

Do NOT book here! They are a scam. My husband and I booked, called to ask about checking in late, and they refused to honor or booking. They were rude when trying to check in.
