2/10 Poor

Hard pass
I've been traveling a very long time have stayed in various different places at various different price points and there are certain things I expect from a lodging. This place just didn't meet those qualifications mostly it was due to the lack of cleanliness. I always check the corners of beds for signs of bed bugs. When I discovered what looked like blood on the sheets, old blood stains on the sheets, and it looked like there could have been blood on the floor and there was a partial black handprint on the wall. I would add they definitely need to make sure they get an exterminator, as there were signs of roaches. So I chose not to stay. I left I didn't make a fuss I didn't make a complaint, I knew I was going to forfeit my payment. I didn't even care that I was going to lose out on the money that I paid for the inn, there was just no way you could pay me to stay there. When I was called because I dropped the card in the checkout box and left without a word, I said I had an emergency and he said I wouldn't get my money back, I said I know. I did know what I was forfeiting but- it was practically emergent to find other accommodations.

Good deal by the Sea
The motel receptionist is very friendly and accommodating. I got the room I requested. I arrived late and receptionist was there to greet me. I felt safe even though there was another sketchy motel across street who can see me walk to my room on the 2nd floor, I heard cat calls. The motel parking is well lit. I didn't have issues with noise, stayed during Thanksgiving weekend, it was very quiet, but when someone walked by I could hear everything. The inside was clean and comfy, it's a bit outdated, no smells, the floors were new, not carpet. Overall it was a good deal for the area.

Nice quiet spot
Nice spot for an overnight stay. Room was small, but comfortable. In-room coffee maker did not work, but overall nice place. The filtered water dispenser next to the ice machine is a nice touch.
