The motel has a different name. Pulled up at night and lights were flickering giving Bates Motel vibes! A biker in the parking lot told us not to stay there but there was no place else to go at the time. Had to call a personal phone # to get a desk clerk. She came out in shorts and dirty tank top with no bra or shoes. Didn’t check id or credit card. I do have to point out that the room was a little better than the rest of the building. Bare wires exposed, rust and holes in the walls. would not sleep under blankets…yuck! Locked ourselves in the room and was concerned for the safety of the car. But the biker was outside with about 10 bikes all night and he kept an eye on our stuff as well. Just stay away!!!!!!
