It’s a discount motel. You get exactly for which you pay.
This was the worst hotel my husband and I ever stayed in for their was no headboard to keep your pillow on the bed so my husband layed sideways with his feet hanging off of bed and I had to lay sideways also so he layed his head against the wall.The bed only had 2 pillows went to office asked for 2 more they stated they may not have any more. They brought one pillow to us that had yellow stain marks all over pillow slip.I used microwave for 4 minutes and it was so hot on outside side panel that a child could burn themselves Next to bed. The width of room was so small my husband sideways was wall to wall touching for his height and we paid over 175.00 for room..Shame on them . The list goes on and on and they do not make coffee until 8am.
