There was no toilet paper holder . The toilet paper was simply placed of towels that were placed along the sides of the small sink. While I was washing my hands , the toilet paper fell into the sink,& the running water ended up getting the roll of toilet paper wet. We had to get a new roll of toilet paper -an inconvenience. Overall -> you get what you pay for. It's a BUDGET motel ! A drive around the block reveals nice houses w well kept lawns- I conclude the neighborhood to be safe. We ate at the Thai restaurant that's @ same parking lot as the hotel. The food tasted good, & the prices are lower than at other restaurants.
The hotel would not allow us to get checked in. We could not get a room and we were charged we showed the receipt the itinerary and the confirmation and still could not get a room.
Gave us grief about our age, refused to look at the reservation until we were interrogated, had to beg the front desk man to let us have the room we booked. Ended up staying somewhere else. Don’t waste your time.
Wish to have 5 negative to describe the place NOT RECOMENDED the beds are unstable and lines dirty the mattress smaller than the box spring if you can call that.
I appreciate that they informed me about that the rooms doesn’t have A/C. The bed had wells and doesn’t stay firm in one place.
Bathroom window had the windows bars broken (looks like someone tried to get in in the pass)
No a/c, no fan, no ventilation, although website misleadingly says there's air conditioning in the room.
Windows don't have any net screens, so cannot be left open. So no air circulation in the room.
No soap provided in the bathroom.
No drinking water provided.
Kitchenette mentioned in the website is not a kitchenette. There's just a fridge and a microwave.
No counter, no cups, bowls, dishes, no utensils and no stove or cooking vessels.
The TV had no signal, so did not work.

Floors made all of my socks black. They apparently allow a mentally ill person to live here, he walks around rambling(loudly) all day and night.
