I recommend staying here for short stays or trying to budget, It was clean for the most part though the bathroom floor was a bit dirty/dusty but nothing major. The wifi was a bit slow at times but overall this was definitely a great deal and I would stay here again for the price. If you're looking for something cheap but worth the money I would stay here it was a nice stay.

Disliked: Staff & service
The motel was quiet and clean and safe. The room was a little overpriced, pretty small for 2 beds but good enough. The expedia page says "Coffee and tea in common areas". There was no coffee, and the common area was locked. No one was there when I checked out at 8:30 AM and needed to ask about my deposit. That doesn't qualify as a "24-hour front desk". Also, there was no mention about a $50 deposit other than a handwritten note taped to the glass which I didn't notice until after the card had been authorized.

The place was quiet, and the bed was comfortable. The cleanliness is what I wasn’t happy about, the floors, walls, and bathroom were dirty. If the cleanliness was better I would have given it a good rating.
