Struck out on this one

I wouldn't repeat or recommend. For $300+ I got a remodeled motel 6, with stained carpet and a dirty toilet. The pics were pretty mis-leading, to me anyway. The bed was comfortable at least. If I wasn't so tired & short on time I would have went somewhere else.

My initial room was underneath an AC roof unit so the noise was unbearable. I arrived at the hotel at 1:44 am. The staff (Ahmed) was kind and helped me move to a quieter room and got in there at 2:30 am. Just don't stay in the room near that AC unit and you're good.
