Good for the price
It was a good hotel for the price. AC was super loud though and the beds are very uncomfortable.

AWFUL
We expected Queen/king size bed. We had two double beds that were the MOST uncomfortable beds that we have ever had!
We were there two nights. Beds were not made. Wet towels in the tub. Should have taken a photo, but I didn’t. Imagine worse possible conditions.

Unclean
The motel was unclean and smelled bad. We were delayed at check in because the desk clerk was having a heated discussion with another customer. We should not have stayed here.

Cheap hotel but this one is bare minimum in comfort and amenities. Room was clean, hallways needed vacuuming and the hotel and room were very outdated. Toilet took ten minutes to fill and towels were are rough as a floor mat. Looked like there were a few long-term tenants that may be living there permanently who appeared to be one step from being homeless. They don't even give you a key in a paper holder which caused mine to demagnetize twice during the two days I was there because it was in my pocket next to my phone. Hotel is cheap but you get what you pay for.
