Highly do not recommend this place. Our car got broken into and apparently it was the second one within a week. The motel had no cameras or any type of security. Wouldn’t recommend if you want somewhere safe to stay

Firstly I booked a room with queen and two single beds and was given Queen and one single bed. We got changes to a room with three single beds, however there was a terrible smell which we couldn’t get rid of. Very disappointing.
