Bad. Very Bad. How bad could it possibly be? You might be asking yourself this question as you browse these reviews hoping to find some truth in and amongst the subjective experiences of people with certain expectations. I ask for very little in a motel: a place to rest one's head for the night. Somehow this establishment failed to even provide that. What should have been my first red flag were all the reviews mentioning mold. "Surely these people must be overreacting to a small corner" I thought. Not so for indeed the entire ceiling of the bathroom was speckled with that unmistakable black mold that so many of us have known from substandard living spaces. Thankfully, one doesn't sleep in the bathroom, but that brings us to the bed. I have slept rough before, but this tops them all. Namely, a foam rubber topper over the world's most put upon mattress providing a sleeping surface so hot and uneven that Frank Gehry would look to it for inspiration. After two hours of lying in the worst bed on Earth, I resigned to stay up the night. I will not be returning to this establishment under any circumstances, and I advise you stay away as well. The price is simply not worth it.
