The day before I checked out the front desk attendant said to me , my boss wants to know why you keep returning if you don’t like it here? I didn’t have an answer at that moment. He was mad and irate and very unprofessional. The reason I returned was the price , and they actually wash the sheets . The house keeping ladies were also very nice and friendly. Other than that dealing with the front desk attendant is a nightmare . He’s rude and obnoxious. Saving money sometimes is not worth it . Also the showers are unpredictable, they are either cold as ice or burning hot . I’m still waiting on my deposits too. What happened to no hidden fees ?

This motel is close to my home, and is one of the least expensive . If you can get past the rude man at the counter, it’s not so bad . It’s what you expect from a run down place .Ive stayed here about 3 times, and each time the rude man gets worse. The second visit he charged me a 50 dollar deposit . Yesterday he charged me a 100 dollar deposit . I’ve given him no reason for the disrespect and ill will . I have yet to receive the original 50 , as it has not been 7 to 10 business days. I’ll keep you all posted.
