I would not stay here. The towels and sheets were not clean. I could not get my room changed because no one was answering at the front desk. Even for a budget motel this bad.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service
Lack of communication. I kept asking the front desk for more days and all they said was you have to book on line. On line said no rooms available but then the front desk called me at the last minute while we were in check out but I had already booked another hotel. There is confusion between on line and actual availability on the property. Bad communication
