Was cool people who own the place don't trip over a little company
There was a dope dealer in the room next door to me
I love the surf Motel they treat us so well it's a clean place and it's safe
For the most part, I enjoy this place. Its fairly clean, much cleaner than the other motels in the area. The bed linen is always washed and made nicely, the sheets and pillowcases bleached nice and white, not the dingy gray trend from other Broadway motels. ;The owners are nice most of the time, and the housekeeper is a friendly guy as well.
As with most motels around here the owners are from India and very dismissive of women.
Riverside suburb with vintage trucks at the Kansas Firefighters Museum, basic motels & casual food.
