“Ace Budget Motel, from what I gather, seems to offer rock-bottom prices, but be prepared for a very basic experience. Reports suggest cleanliness and maintenance are serious concerns. If your priority is just a place to crash and you're on a super tight budget, it's an option, but manage your expectations.”
