Great solo traveler deal!
You get what you pay for but this one was still worth it. Only problems were trouble with the water temperature.And there was no cover on remote so I had to occasionally adjust the batteries.
Otherwise everything was good and clean and more than sufficient for a solo traveler.

My room had roaches that we noticed on the day of check-out. When I told the front desk about the insects, she just responded with "sorry". There was no compensation given. Also, there were no standard toiletries i.e. soap, shampoo, ice bucket.

Avoid staying here
It’s pretty run down, atleast the beds weren’t dirty. But door didn’t close correctly, air and noise seeped into the room. You could even see the light thru the door frame. Toilet seat was loose, I put actually put it together so, it wouldn’t fall apart. Room smelled of cigarettes. They only put one tiny bar soap. Only 2 towels, even tho we were 3 in the room. The front desk was unattended, waited like 20mins till someone showed up to check me in. It’s a good thing I only stayed there for one night and only to sleep.

Worst Hotel Stay Ever
My wife booked me a room for a couple nights while I did some repairs for her elderly sisters home. Trains ran throughout the night right behind the property. The smell of Marijuana was constant from other rooms. Cleanliness consists of cigarette burns in the comforter, finger nails, centipedes running across the floor, flithy looking bed linens. Loud music from other guests till midnight, possibly prostitution in the parking lot. I did not feel safe at all even being an armed boomer male.

The room smelled like marijuana. The sink countertop was not sealed to the wall so water leaked all over the floor. I asked for extra towels but was told that they wouldn’t be available until 5pm and that I had to return my old towels before getting new ones. They also didn’t have Do Not Disturb signs.

Ignore the Karen and Ken comments
Plenty of bad reviews for this joint.
Here’s what I can say to everyone.
For what I paid, it was fine.
It was clean.
It was convenient.
It was cheaper than 99% of the places in the area.
Was it perfect? No. Although, it was worth the money I paid.
The management makes a serious effort to keep the place nice.
You can tell.
It ain’t the Ritz, but you’re not paying for the Ritz!
You’re paying for a clean place to sleep for a night or two.
That’s what I got.

So first off, the employees are great. They helped us out as much as you could. But the hotel, trash. We got into our room and the sheets arent changed. There was used gum on the table. Behind the beds were gross. The tv didnt work. The front door was damaged and didnt want to fully close. There was holes in the roof in the bathroom. So i asked if we could change rooms. Which they let us. That room was better but the sheets still had hair on it and the toilet wouldnt flush pee. I figured out the water in the shower because it was cold for a bit. I know it's cheap, but i stayed at cheaper and better motel 6s.

Disgusting hotel
First off the hotel was disgusting. I had a dead roach in the room. The first room the whole bottom of the door was kicked in. You could see the outside in see into my room. They gave me a second room. The door was the same way. Then I believe someone was in the room. Because the security latch across the door was not allowing me into the room. So went back down to the office. They gave me a third room. The door was the same way it had no security lock across the top and the room was disgusting. It had a dead roach in it? The room had not been cleaned. I will never stay there again and I do not recommend it for anyone.

Pretty rough
Imagine everything you don't want a hotel room to have, this one pretty much had it all. Stains on the sheets, floor, around the sink, etc. Fridge didn't work. Pillows were hard pancakes. Toilet wasn't connected to the floor all the way and tipped forward. Faucet for the shower was installed backwards (so hot=cold, cold=hot). Roaches. Partner had to shuffle past police talking to someone right outside of our door.
I get that budget motels aren't going to be the Ritz, but this one was particularly bad and Motel 6 is a chain I use a lot, none have ever been this bad.
The one good thing I'll add is that the man I checked in with was kind and professional.
