Outside was dirty, run down, inside did not look like the picture there were no kitchen accessories, not even a light bulb in the desk lamp. The room was dark. The towels were like sand paper. Very disappointed.

This is the kind of motel that not too long ago would have cost you about $58 to stay there. That's still what it's worth, but it'll cost you twice as much. So low budget the floorboards have 1/2" spaces between them in sections - that's how much care was taken.

Uncomfortable pullout bed, thin walls so no privacy and able to hear rooms around you messing around. Not a very good relaxing room.
