Ok motel for the price.
The rooms feel dated and could use some fresh paint. There are broken tiles on the shower wall, and a train passes nearby every three hours, even in the middle of the night, with its horn blaring. However, considering the price, these issues are manageable.

Where to start, I stayed for 7 nights, First 4 nights no cleaning was done other than trash emptied, bed was not touched until the last two days. In the Middle of my stay I got back from work and the parking lot was roped off without notice and I called the office and they said find parking and hung up on me, I had to park on the street two blocks away and walk in the middle of the night in 45 degree weather which I was not prepared for. It was very cold at night and there was no heat and a very thin blanket so I went to Target to buy a heater. Microwave was very dirty as was the fridge. Free WiFi was horrible and rarely worked and when it did it was 1mbs. Phone reception was also non existent with T-Mobile while on the property.

The property needs to be renovated very dated. Also, they had a crew of people at 7 AM in the morning running machines working on the parking lot. So I did not get much sleep…
