"Expedia, shame on you for not showing the actual picture of the property on your listing. Very deceptive. This is an old motel that has not had updates in a long time. The room smelled, the furniture is beat up, there were cigarette burns in the bedspread, and what I thought were ants were actually baby cockroaches. It was fairly clean and the water pressure was good. The bed was comfortable, but there was just a top sheet and a thin coverlet(with lots of holes), but no blanket or comforter....
