Never again
Joseph checked me in, he was very kind and helpful. Later that night, some difficult people checked in. I was walking my dog and encountered them - I think it was a mixture of drug addiction / domestic violence - IDK, I asked if the women needed help, she did not. She later was banging on my door and window, yelling at me. In the morning she was seated outside the door - I found a man to watch over while I loaded by car - had my pets with me due to evac. had to miss work that day AND pay for the full 3 day stay due to Expedia. Worst, worst experience. PS - the updated rooms were nice enough but the floors were black with dirt.

Barebones near the airport
We had our flight changed and ended up arriving after the car rental location in the airport was closed, so we took a room near the airport. The Uber to get there was very expensive because of the date, not the motels fault. I had confirmed before we arrived that they would be open for check in after midnight. When we got there, the office was closed, no one replied to repeated pushing of the buzzer. We had to phone them for them to come to the desk. Then the clerk stood there like they didn't know what they were supposed to do. It was like pulling teeth. They should have known we were coming. The room was clean enough, but the towels were the most thread bare towels I have ever seen. And one towel per person, no hair dryer to dry my hair. Not the worst motel I have ever stayed at, but not the best either. We were just there to get a few hours sleep then back to the airport to pick up the rental car.
