Park Avenue Hotel Motel
This was a good location for an overnight stop on our journey south. It was everything a motel should be, easy to find, straightforward check in, clean room and parking right outside.

The room was fantastic, the area horrible. The first night my luggage was stolen. Next time I would prefer to stay more inside the City center
