Idk what's with all the bad reviews besides some roaches. Yes, lol hotels/motels are gonna have a bug or two. They were generous enough to leave raid in the room.. stay paid up because there folks deal with a lot of bs. Great ppl tho can't beat the price
8.0
Not the worst I have ever seen. The guests destroy the rooms and the owner is hard pressed to keep up with the damages. They rent rooms to people who could not afford to stay ANYWHERE ELSE. The reward is lost hours in repairs and out of pocket costs never to be covered by anyone but them. They rent to the underclass because they care and still absorb all the lost money and time doing a good thing
