Not the best location
The motel is situated in an industrial area, which some guests didn't find too appealing. They also pointed out that there are many homeless individuals around the property, which might not be ideal for everyone. A few also mentioned that they felt unsafe walking around the neighborhood at night and recommended not parking your car on the street.
negative:
Housekeeping not always too effective
Some guests pointed out that when they first entered their room, they noticed that the floors were sticky, there was an odor resembling mildew and the furniture was dirty.
negative:
Noise concerns
Given that the property is a motel, where every guests basically drives up to the room due to the exterior corridors, noise might be an issue. Several guests pointed out that when others arrived or left in the middle of the night, they were woken up. Furthermore, the motel is located along a busy street, so traffic noise is noticeable at all hours of the day, which is why some guests recommended asking for a room toward the back of the property.
