Horrible.

My stay at this motel was absolutely horrible. We didn’t even end up sleeping here. We walked in and immediately it smelled of cigarettes and dead animals. There were cigarette burns in the carpet and at least 3 on the bed. There was stains on the floor and walls. It was absolutely disgusting. We were in that room for less then 10 minutes but i was told i couldn’t get a refund. I payed about $80. I would like a refund asap. i should report a health code violation and have this motel shut down!

Run away from this place.

When we arrived at 1:30am, there were two African American (I'm taking a good guess) drug dealers or pimps standing by the front office. As I walked into the front office, a car with dark tinted window pulled up and those 2 men entered the car. The front desk was behind bulletproof glass. The rooms opened to the outside, so I would classify it as a motel, not a hotel. 2 doors down from our motel room, the motel room door was open and some unknown “transactions” were transpiring.
There was a piece of feces in the toilet in our room. Some sort of lubricant spread on the nightstand. The room has definitely not been cleaned.
Unmufflered cars driving in and out the parking lot on a consistent basis. At 4:30 AM, incredibly loud music playing. We literally barricaded the door with the desk before going to bed. We are grown men, but it was a very unsettling night and we could not wait to leave in the morning. THE WORST hotel/motel I have ever stayed.

Front desk people involved with the drugs and prostitution. No balconies like stated in advertisements. Continental breakfast was toast or dry mini doughnuts if they had them out. No coffee when it was coffee hours. Lots more! Absolutely disgusted

The property is definitely aged and it shows. It's obviously a known place for drug or other illegal activity. That was apparent with the nightly police car drive by's and oh, my neighbor Candi, the hotel prostitute. All hours of the night there was constant traffic in and out of her room. Definitely not someplace I'd recommend for a family trip.

This hotel is in need of renovations. Room size ok, service by checking was pleasant, but housekeeping lacks. It was after 3 and they came to refresh the room but just took used towels and left messed up pile on bed. They was damage to woodwork, things patched to make functional. There was no blow dryer available in room or at front desk & continental breakfast not available. No inroom coffee pots, but they did have working frig.

Clean, comfortable, no wifi

The pros outweighed the cons on this room. No alarm clock, but the clock on the microwave was set properly. The rooms needed some fresh paint and TLC, the lighting was poor, but everything worked and it was reasonably clean. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable room, and not nit-picky, the price and location far out weigh the downsides. FORGET about getting wifi service tho. Lots of \"time outs\" in trying to connect, and dropped signals. Extremely slow (to the point of frustration) when it DID connect.

Not pet friendly!!

There was nothing outstanding about this hotel, just a place to crash for the night. One thing that did bother me was that it was listed under pet-friendly hotels on Expedia, but upon arrival there were multiple signs that said no pets allowed. Since I had already paid ahead of time the manager allowed me and my dog to stay the one night, after paying a small pet fee. Besides that, it was a decent place to spend the night!

A place to sleep that's it

It's a decent hotel with a few kinks. When you flushed the toilet, sometimes things would come back up. If you want to plug something into an outlet, make sure you have something leaning against it or else it'll just fall right out. What made me feel the most uncomfortable was the homeless people with shopping carts and other guests I'm assuming running by my window yelling at times. The bed was comfy, the shower was warm, and the TV worked. So all in all it was a good place to sleep and that's it.

This motel is disgusting. Our room was not clean and in very poor condition. Our bathroom door was decaying and wouldn't shut. The walls were decaying and falling apart. There were spider webs on the walls. The bathtub was brown and coated in grime. Our bed was so hard and uncomfortable. The continental breakfast was a joke, toast and some tiny stale doughnuts with squeezable butter. It's in a sketchy area with sketchy people. The worst part was that the next morning I woke up with clusters of itchy bed bug bites on both my arms, neck, face, and back. Now we have to take of the risk of bringing some of these bedbugs home with us in our luggage! When I informed the management about the bed bugs in our room, they were very rude and wouldn't even give us a refund. Do not stay here! Seriously it's the worst place I have ever stayed in.

NOW it's a Non-smoking Room

So...I knew when I booked this hotel, I was looking for a cheap place to just sleep. The site around the hotel is under construction right now so everything was a mess. That is not the hotel's fault.

The room condition was a bit warn but clean enough.

The only thing that really bothered me was the fact that these use to be smoking rooms. The windows don't open and the ventilation is poor. They have tried to cover up the old smoking smell with strong room fresheners but there is a terrible smell in the room. All of my clothes ended up smelling like a mixture of smoke and room deodorizers.

There was a fridge and microwave. No coffee pot or hair dryer.
