The only thing I didn’t like is there a check-in system, there’s no more human beings, somebody in India on a video cam taking your information. They are very quick, but still, there was no real human experience.

Disliked: Staff & service
Did not like checking in with a person on a screen. No one in the check in area. All handled on a screen. Not a safe feeling when no one there in person. Bathroom was 1/2 painted. Had two people beg for money in the surrounding area. The bed was nice and firm. The room was clean. I would not recommend staying at this motel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Checking in with a person threw a computer was a little different but still easy and great service. The room was clean but has some cosmetic issues, chipped floor and paint. Its wasn't a bother though, you get what you pay for getting the cheapest motel around. My only complaint is the pool was closed down/ out of order and i purposely made sure to get a motel with a pool, so that was a let down for my son.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There were no staff. It was a virtual concierge that seemed very impersonal and unsafe considering the hotel. The bed was awful and the bathroom was dirty. The wrapped cups for use had crumbs on them. Lesson learned. Could have spent 5 more dollars and had the nice hotel next door that was clean and had staff and continental breakfast.
