I grew up in the area, have been gone nearly 40 years. I remember Curry's being a nice little motel, good reputation. Well, no longer. I had to preview three rooms before I found one that didn't smell like cigarettes and had a working chain lock on the inside of the door. I strongly recommend whoever reads this: throw in an additional $10 or $15 per night and pick something nicer/something cleaner. The rooms looked like they hadn't been maintained, fixed, painted in at least 10 years--since the the Curry family sold out to the Indian conglomerate. If you must stay here, be sure to take something for your feet, e.g., flip flops. If you get up in the middle the night you won't want to touch your bare feet on the filthy carpet.
I spent a couple months traveling throughout India in the late 70s; this motel was a lot like the accommodations I had over there. Minimally acceptable, but not up to American standards.
One positive note: the area is still very nice--no crime, no danger of violence.
