Minimal contact with staff or other guests. Whenever I talked to somebody, they referred me to Expedia. The only receipt I eventually got stated "prepaid", no amount. On the second night there was a lot of commotion upstairs. I did not feel safe enough to leave my room to ask for assistance.

The room is very clean, the floor is so clean. I stayed at a lot of hotels before. Mostly they don’t care the floor, but our room at this hotel was very clean. They come to clean our room and the floor for 4 days during our stay. Thanks to the staffs.

It was close to being a reasonable price for a motel. Heating and air worked poorly. The refrigerator smelled and didn't cool. The tv dish went out a couple times. Two pods of coffee for two people over two days? Be cautious of pet friendly. That comes with a step price.
