Poor maintance, worn out, sheets thin, drain did not work in the shower/tub, air cond. was hardly working, shabby in all areas....

Room was clean the first night, second night OK but on the third night the bed was not made, towels on the floor, seedy neighborhood, loud parties, will not make this mistake again. It is well worth extra money to be safe and have a clean room. I can understand with the cheap rates not a great neighborhood, but not to clean the room is inexcusable. They emptied the trash and hauled the used towels out. That was it, bed not made and dirty towel on the floor of the bathroom. NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN, will gladly pay more for basic motel services. Loud Partying going on a 3-4 AM, what a farce. No one to complain to in the morning to check out. If this place could make AAA I would petition against it remaining. Children's toys out by the empty pool, the pictures are totally not correct. Extremely small fridge and microwave. Old TV, not a good experience at all.

Given the rates for other hotels in the region, we found the Alma Motel very comfortable and clean for our overnight stop. We were on the way elsewhere, and the staff was very helpful and courteous, allowing us a bit extra time before leaving the next day without problems. Although the AC had to work extremely hard the day we were there, it cooled the room to a good level of comfort.
This is not a resort hotel, but basic digs that are very good!!

So most of these reviews are right: worn out rooms, fairly clean, definitely inexpensive, but there's definitely an unsafe vibe. There's an unsavory element to the environment: odd staff, beat up old cars outside of some of the rooms, garbage resting in window sills. Don't think as I did that it's old but clean; it's seedy, not awful, but not even decent.
