I believe the owners of this property have made a real effort to give a good experience for a reasonable price. Everything in the room was operational. The outside landscaping and pool area was above average. Things like the bedspread and curtains in the room were worn and shabby - they definitely need improvement.

This motel is in a challenging neighborhood. They must have had past challenges with guests, because they asked me for an additional deposit beyond the normal security deposit. The staff was friendly but cautious.

Everything in the room was not working appropriately (broken toilet handle, burnt out light over sink area). Very difficult to communicate with staff either a language barrier or those that do speak English are just very rude. High homeless population traveling to hotel or hanging out at hotel.
