Motel Express

I had cash and was ready to pay for a room for the night, but they treated me like I wasn't even there.

For $80 to $90 a day, you get a full-size fridge and cable movie channels, which feels like a good deal. The housekeeping here is the most thorough I've seen at any hotel or motel, and they go out of their way for customers. Angela is sweet, kind, and helpful if you follow the rules. Management is great too. Thanks to Angela and the housekeepers.

This place stays busy around the clock. People are up and around at all hours, doing their own thing. I can't say whether what they're doing is good or bad. In my experience, guests' belongings are generally safe in the hotel parking lot, but anything can happen on the street, so park at your own risk. Use a club if you think your car might get stolen. If you're traveling and just need a night somewhere, you may want to keep going to the Red Lion, Hilton, or a similar hotel. This is more the kind of place people stay when they have nowhere else to go. It might also suit someone who's up all night for extracurricular activities.

The noise from a vacuum bumping against the door in the morning was about the only service I noticed. This felt more like a cramped, bad apartment than a hotel, and police seem to be dealing with someone here regularly. It's one of the worst hotels in the surrounding area, even compared with the Holiday Inn. If you can spend over $100 a night, take my advice and pay roughly ten dollars more for somewhere that might earn at least one star.
