This place is organized differently. There is no front desk. You check in and check out by text message.
It's important to note that while each room has its own sink, there is a common toilet and shower located in a room down the hall. At first I was skeptical of this, but I was able to use the common toilet/shower a number of times without having to contend with another guest.
The rooms are quite small --think college dormitory. There would not be enough room for more than two people. Yet all the fixtures, sinks, air conditioners, TV's, appeared nearly new, and everything worked.
In short, if you are content with the common toilet/shower arrangement and are traveling alone, this motel is a good value.
I was surprised when my credit card was charged with one day's rent some 11 days before my arrival. Then my card received another charge some 4 days before my arrival. The explanation was that this was according to their payment policy. It didn't make any difference to me, but ordinarily, your card is charged when you check in, not in advance.
