We booked the hotel thinking it looked good on the outside. When we got there to check in, there were strangers to us walking around the outside of the facility or sitting on the stairs etc. The strangers looked dangerous to us and made us uncomfortable so we decided not to stay and went across the street to the Budget Inn.

There was no one in the office. They didn't answer the calls. I waited for an hour and then went to another hotel! I don't recommend this motel for your trip!!!
