Well from looking at his record im not surprised! cocaine sell, weapons charges, drugs, etc. and some as recent as a few months ago so we can all draw our own conclusions of what happened here…..it doesn’t take a genius to figure this one out!
@ 39.95 a night with free breakfast = a guarantee something like will happen. The entire cluster in this area has gone down hill over the last 5 years just about the time Steak & Ale closed. ( Unique concept different rooms/parlors that all smell like a old folks home). My suggestion is Look at the parking lot, drive around back, look at pool (not the water , the clientele) and common areas before you decide to stay the night at any hotel.
Great area for our mall inprovements……
our local hotel/motels have turned into crack/meth dens.
