Sad, old motel was way too expensive
It was definitely the saddest $200 room I have ever stayed in. Tiny, weirdly laid out room in a tired old motel. Very thin walls and floors, plus very squeaky outer doors meant I was woken up repeatedly when several guests left early in the morning for transport to train. They did have a decent cold breakfast, and a shuttle service.
