I like the lobby decor, front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The room bed sheets had not been changed from the previous guest, someone had just made the bed without changing them. There were food crumbs on them.

The property is nothing like the photos. It is made to look like a hotel but is an older motel. My first room was unable to lock the big window next to the front door. This is an outside entrance style motel. So not very safe. The window was easily visible as being unable to lock, i saw it from outside when i first entered the room. They did move me to another room. The rooms are very small.

Checked in and room was at the annex building, no elevator. Took it anyway as everything else was booked. Got to room and bed was dirty, dog hair and stained. Food on floor. Mold in shower. Went back to front desk, no other rooms. They asked the shuttle driver to bring new sheets and me to clean the room, change the beds!!! There were drunks outside and suspicious looking sorts all evening and a bullet hole in the lobby window. We had to walk to their main hotel lobby, in the dark, at 4am the next day and was approached by a man walking by - pretty scary.
