I knew this place was the scum of the earth but I hadn't had any prior knowledge of the cockroach infestation. When I went to the front desk to check in, I asked if this motel had been hit with the bedbug epidemic such as other hotels in the area.. The man laughed and said no. I felt very relieved...........

Just stayed here for one night was going to stay 2 nights, but that changed. Room was average for the area considering the need for some updates. Came here for Roar on the shore bike event.
