I'm not sure why so many people rate this motel as terrible. The building itself is run down and needs a paint job and concrete repair, but my room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Few amenites in the room; no microwave, phone, or bedside lamps (the only light in the room is the big overhead one with the switch by the door, so be sure to have your phone nearby as a flashlight). The man at the front desk was VERY nice and went with me to the room to make sure I liked it. There were no bugs or mice, and I didn't see any drug or sex trafficking activities. I will absolutely stay there again; don't be put off by the condition of the building.

The room had a musky smell to it, and the walls were really damaged and dirty. The real thing that made the room completely gross was the dried urine covering the toilet seat. It was covered in it. The staff was kind and helpful but unfortunately the rooms are worse than I could imagine. The bed covering looked hole covered and stained
