I remember the $29 a night road side motels that were clean and up to date for the times. Not much has been done here since those days.
The unfortunate truth that, thanks to inflation the $29 a night is now $129 a night. If you made bad choices back then, well once again your about to make one now..
The staff seem use to and good with this location, but as a traveler you probably won't be.
For me I made the best of a bad situation. With the money saved over the room rates downtown, I bought a really nice hat, pair of sunglasses, and a sweater.
So like most things in life, you make tradeoffs. I made my choice.
Were the passerbyers compliments on my new hat, sweater and sunglasses worth it? Cheers
