The stay was okay. Priced okay also. Expedia was the problem here. Had a terrible experience with Expedia customer service, was charged for extra insurance and given the run around. Will never use Expedia again

The AC worked well and it was located nearby the train station. It was quiet and had good parking. We got two towels and two washcloths total for two nights' stay for two people. There was no hand towel or floor mat for the shower, which sprayed water sideways out of the head so the bathroom floor stayed wet. The top blanket had stains on it and the fitted sheet seemed too small for the mattress - it kept coming off the corners. We tried to watch the TV and it was jumpy and the sound kept dropping out.

This was an interesting place. Low cost in an area that can be expensive. Nothing fancy, no breakfast. Towels were adequate but not luxury by any means. Working person's place. But it was clean. It felt safe with its limited access set up. Rooms circled the parking lot with a narrow entrance that passed by the office. Fridge with real freezer compartment and microwave. Good mattress and pillows. Basic needs met at a low price.

i had to switch rooms twice to finally get a decent room. 1st room smelled like cigarettes and sheets and blanket had burn marks from smoking, sheets had yellow stains all over. the pictures i have you can visibly see them. I called front desk and he offered me room spray. then i showed him the pictures of the sheets then he changed my room. 2nd room a/c did not work whats so ever. then finally i got a decent room. sheets were not that bad and room didnt smell of cigarettes but it is motel so you wont get regular hotel up to date bedding and amenities. sheets had little staines on the side and felt very itchy. i wish i knew to bring my own sheets. i laid on top of the blanket and tried to get a little nap in before i could not handle the itching anymore and left. i would never stay here again. but if you really need somewhere they do have plenty of rooms, but they are by like a strip club or adult store idk but its called “lust” but kinda sketchy. To be honest i would only stay if in desperate need of shelter
