Everything you'd want in a motel, although the bathroom wares were old-looking.

If you're looking for a good place to hide out from the mob or buy drugs, this is probably a great place. For everyone else, stay away!

Didn't feel particularly safe. Took a while to get to the hotel and find the office. You can see it, just hard to get to it. Noise from the interstate was plenty loud. I booked it by accident, won't make that mistake again.

The mid shift front desk person is very rude at times. In my opinion he thinks he’s better than people who stays at the hotel

The property was in poor condition. The railings on the second floor are corroded and look like they will fall off of the building.
