The area of the motel we stayed was a little rough - backing up to low income apartments on our side, with only a chain link fence between. Clientele around us was also rough, and we felt unsafe parking the car in the lot, and ended up moving it to the front lot. No incidents. On the positive side, while the accommodations were basic, they were nice for a big family and very reasonable for getting three beds and a whole family in one room. Also - the guy at the front desk was awesome - housekeeping forgot to put our pack in play in the room (which would have been a count against them), but he worked hard to hunt one down for us and bring it to our room. Made a big positive difference in our stay. 5 stars for him.
