Very Cheap but staff not responsive to problems. Ignored.

I stayed here for a few weeks as a motel. It was very cheap, around $160 with tax for a weekly rate.

Most staff is very friendly, however what must be the owner or main manager is not responsive to problems. My telephone line porovided was extremely noisy. Upon investigating I determined the jack was bad -- badly bent and corroded wire connectors. I told the manager this and asked him to remedy this because it made it difficult to connect to the internet (calls would drop after 5 minutes and there was a charge of 50 cents per local call -- hint, hint, maybe this was about money' I had to do an hours work each day). All he had to do was install a new jack, about $3 in costs. I could have even done it myself. He pretty much refused. No one even seemed to come to check out the problem.

I then told him (through a message) that I wasn't happy with the accomodations and would like to leave because I need to get work done over the internet -- could I get a refund of the unused nights I had and simply leave' My message was not even returned. I ended up staying there anyway becaus eI had already paid.

Overall, otherwise, this is low end accomodations, very cheap. There weren't any bugs that I noticed, the TV, microwave, AC, and locks all seemed to work. Geared more for people looking for bargains, defiantely not luxery. But don't go there if you want a quality phone line or expect professional responsive management. Be careful to check out the accomodations thouroughly before paying, as you might not get your money back even if you leave. Also, if there is a problem with something, you probably won't get it fixed right away it seems.
