The room had no heat when we first arrived, but warmed up fairly quick. I’m not sure why they left the room unheated when it is pretty chilly outside. The beds are comfortable and the shower was warm. They could use a few more towels.

The interstate noise was there but I slept well enough. The rooms are cheap and worth it if you take my meaning. The motel is quite decayed, and populated with sad cases you might expect. I only saw three roaches in my room. But, nobody bothered me in the two nights.

If you're looking for a good place to hide out from the mob or buy drugs, this is probably a great place. For everyone else, stay away!
