You're review should actually indicate an N/A because I did not see any staff the 3 nights/4 days I was at the motel. No ice machine. No vending machine.

The hotel is awesome and clean and the check in process was so smooth with an agent checking with me to make sure I had the room number and entry code. The neighborhood seems a little sketchy with scary looking people in the parking lot but I can’t blame that on the motel! And the price of the room was very good. Overall super stoked with the motel room!

Convenient in the area but the room had termites and table wasn’t cleaned with hair and food smears on it. Termites on the bed and in the bathroom sink. Floor felt dirty and no icebox. Overall it was okay.
