Weird vibe
The door handle did not work properly so the first key did nothing . Got into the room and looked like someone was there but decided to
Leave. Plenty of smoke bud by the door

Money hungry hotel
What stay I booked to extend the reservation and they asked me for extra $30 to stay in same room as if it was a early check in ir to leave and come back after 3pm so what was my point of extending my stay if I was going to do that so I totally disagreed with that so I canceled and left the property and I seen on my credit car that I was still charged even do I wasn’t there they never cancel like I asked to

This motel was my go to disappoints me that ima have to look for another one because i dont feel like it values my bussines

Weekend Stay
The front desk clerk wasn't friendly at all. I couldn't get the shower to work properly. I showered with luck warm water. Well more cold water then warm. On my last day I noticed a little puddle of water on the floor around, cleaned it up thinking I spilled water while getting ready. Came back and another puddle had formed. Looked under the sink and the pipe has a leak, under that leak was a bucket that had over filled with water. I was not made aware of this. If I were made aware I would have been a little more careful in using the bathroom sink or at least dump the water from the bucket.
