Terrible owners violate your privacy
Housekeepers violate your privacy by just coming into your room and no deadlocks on doors to stop them. Then when you complain the rude owners tell you to get out. Rooms are dirty too.

Decent place
Average motel. Bed was nice. Bathroom was nice. Refrigerator was a little today on the outside. Parking lot is a little tight for larger cars. Dirt around parking lot had trash and needs attention. A little touch up paint would make a decent place.
