The motel is not bad but the room had been smoked in and smelt like an ashtray. We got gouged for over $800 for a single night on a normal $125 room because of Alabama/LSU football weekend. Shower hot water took 10 minutes to get lukewarm. There was no soap, shampoo in the shower dispensers. If you're going to gouge your rates to over 8x normal, which i get, at least stock the toiletries and deodorize the room.
