“It's a creepy construction site. There is no front desk or phone to reach the other motel a block away and no motel staff on site.”
“Fortunately, I was dressed when a man keyed in the lock number, opened the door, and walked in my room.”
“Oakland motel is unacceptable for the price charged. No office on site and a shady environment.”
“The exterior makes you wonder about the interior, but once I entered the room, I was well satisfied.”
