“Based on reports, cleanliness appears to be a serious concern at this motel, with multiple accounts describing unsanitary conditions. While budget-friendly accommodation has its place, the issues raised suggest that even basic expectations may not be met here. I would advise travelers to carefully weigh their options before booking.”
