The motel is not bad but the room had been smoked in and smelt like an ashtray. We got gouged for over $800 for a single night on a normal $125 room because of Alabama/LSU football weekend. Shower hot water took 10 minutes to get lukewarm. There was no soap, shampoo in the shower dispensers. If you're going to gouge your rates to over 8x normal, which i get, at least stock the toiletries and deodorize the room.

While staff was friendly and accommodating and most of the room was updated, the bathroom door was literally taped together and the beds advertised as 2 queens were definitely 2 full sized mattresses.

My only complaint was the smoking outside of our room. I opened the door to get something out of my car and smoke rolled in my room. The neighboring rooms sit outside of their rooms and smoke cigarettes. I think they need a designated smoking area away from rooms. It was very clean and the staff was very nice.
