Sun Motel is a budget accommodation that gained fame as a filming location for the classic 1980s movie "Planes, Trains and Automobiles." While it carries a bit of nostalgic charm due to its celebrity status, guests should be aware that the facility may not meet modern cleanliness standards.

The motel has faced criticism for its upkeep, with reports of unclean bathrooms and inadequate maintenance. Visitors looking for a simple and memorable stay may find the experience lacking in comfort and hygiene.
