Nancy A
When I pulled up there were men hanging around the office & sitting everywhere. I did not even want to get out of my car. It was night time and I was traveling alone. It was not good.
I drove to another hotel to look for another room somewhere. But everything was booked for miles around. I called the motel and asked what was going on and why the people all over.
I had to go back and check in. It was awful. I could not hear the guy behind the glass because one of the guys was rudely playing something on his phone.

My husband wouldn’t stay and I was even a bit iffy. Run down, but looked clean. Couldn’t tell if linen was fresh as nothing was tucked in. After a 5 minute debate we decided to drive on.
The front desk was very helpful in person.
Only stay here if you’re very comfortable with a roughly maintained facility and can sleep in that environment.

Ladaesha
very nasty. the kids were upset but it was already late . the beds were clean at least. its like the didnt bother to even vacuum .everything was just dirty.
Rebecca
The property was so bad, we didn’t even stay in our room. The pictures shown of the property don’t match the actual property. There were a lot of people in the parking lot just loitering around the office area. When we got into our room it smelled so bad we just left. I really didn’t feel like it was a safe place to stay with my kids. I wouldn’t recommend booking this place.
Melissa
I had booked 2 rooms with double queen beds ahead of time and the lady tried to tell me that they were booked and I never made a reservation. When I showed her the receipts she didn’t want to give me a room with double beds. The rooms were damp and humid, and there was mold in the bathrooms. Also the blankets had holes in them from what seems to be burn marks.
on the second night it started raining and water started leaking through the ceiling onto the bed.
I had to ask for another room but it wasn’t near the second room it was a Lot away. I had children and elder parents and we all had to sleep in one room because my elder parents need frequent care even though I explained I needed the rooms to be near.

Rose
What a hassle. First, we were arriving late so we called and the man who answered was extremely helpful. Very appreciated. But then when we arrived we had to wait around 30 minutes for the desk person to come up and help us. Nobody was anywhere to be found. Two other people were waiting in parking lot waiting to check in as well. Had rang the doorbell over and over and tried knocking and still never no response. Had to yell for someone to come and help us get checked in. When we finally got to our room it seemed not cleaned. The beds were made. But there was hair on the sink and looked under the beds and crumbs and batteries and I dont even know and even a 2 liter 7 up bottle under the bed... Not for us.
Bob
Room had the ac going on arrival. TV remote and wifi worked fine.
Chantel S
Very rough hotel, would not go back. In disrepair for general maintenance and cleanliness. 50% of the towels were dirty. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Kevin
I did not stay there it looked like a crime seen. The worst experience I ever had in life to the rooms in that motel was not nice at I tried to reach the organization who I went through for the booking of that motel.I gave up and lost money by going there never again in life. Lesson learned.
Christopher
Bathtub was a little stained look like there was mold on the wall
Whidul
The room condition was very bad. Dirty, smoke smell, bugs and contaminated and cigrates burned bed and blanket. Overall room was contaminated. I booked for four days but i just stayed one night and my daughter get
Michael
Property was worn out. My room was next to the interstate. Very noisy. Bathroom was in need of an upgrade. Bedding had cigarette burn. Door fit in opening very loose, no weatherstripping.
James
It what you would expect from a 60$ room
Dave
The room had several small amenities which made it just a bit more comfortable, the refrigerator was nice and big and cold, the air conditioning was easy to use, the shower had a shelf and even a grab bar, the lighting system was bright and there was one for each bed plus more.
However, the paint was peeling, and the bath slightly dripped, but this is okay because of course the price was more than fair. Recommended!

Do not stay there. Bunch of Drunk Hispanics and they canceled my booking and did a reversal that’s gonna take days to get and put me and my kids out to accommodate other guest. Taking legal action. The management/Indians are rude as sh!t also. I’ll never go back.
JENNIPHER
Ok

Very friendly quiet and close to to everything
Maurice
The toilet didn't work right the room was clean. I fell leaving the room due to the large step down. The toilet was very low to the ground. The person who check us out did a report about me falling. Was gonna call the office about the. Toilet but I fixed it good enough to work each time. Had to work with it .
Fernando
Ok
JeVone
Entire bathroom section was dirty and nasty, the room smelled funny.
Michael
Very basic, but not terrible.
Mark
Depends what you’re looking for. It’s inexpensive and you get what you pay for. It’s a place to sleep.
Shout out to the cleaning staff - they were so very nice.

The ceiling was crumbling, there was trash along the edges of the room, and it smelled of dampness; the shower curtain was in bad condition—everything was very run-down.

Anthony
Best place I’ve ever stayed for the money. Staff was helpful and.
Matthew
I walked in the room and walked right out and drove away. I have never seen any room so disgusting in my life. If I could give it a negative 50 stars I would. I would sleep in my car before I stayed there. If they didn't have bedbugs and roaches and mice I would be absolutely shocked. Obvious prostitutes and drug dealing out in the open
Wilmer
If you are looking something affordable and nice this is the top one. Front desk staff is very helpful and friendly.
Thomas
Everything was dirty, work out, broken flooring, I'm amazed they didn't have bedbugs. It was.... Cheap for a reason.
DAVID
If you want a no-frills, friendly, nice stay, this is the place.
William
The cheapest place I could find but it’s clean and Decent. Great value
Sarah
The place is so run down. The stench in the room is almost unbearable. The visible dirt, cigarette holes in the sheets, cracks in the walls, bug bites in the morning....just to name a few
Richard
The lady at front desk was wonderful and room was clean, had to go to the mall and buy pillows and towels because the ones they provide are very bad!
Natalie
My room reeked of smoke even though it was a non smoking room. The bathroom was horrible! The door would NOT close, mold on the walls, broken drain and very old. 1 of the 2 beds had a broken frame. If you sat on it you sunk almost to the floor. The mini fridge was rusty. The freezer section had no door and was full of ice and frost. I would not stay here again and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone!
GEORGE
Is a safe, quiet and convenient location. Best price in the area, staff was excellent They seem to be improving the property.
It was about what I expected for a $50 hotel room.

Had trouble connecting to Wi-Fi. Notified attendant at the front desk, she gladly reset the router and all was well.
I have no complaints. This was reasonably priced for a no frills motel.

Definitely needs some updates (which looks like are being slowly done). But a quiet place close to food

Can't expect basic hygiene, Okay if the price is the only concern for you don't expect anything else and be be ready to sleep on a dirty bedsheet and smell a stinky blanket
John
It was okay
Michael
Property needs work. Room in poor shape. Dresser all scratched up. Needs painting. Even though only paid $53, still not worth it. Had a bug crawling on the nightstand. Spent time in better military barracks. Will never stay there again. If it was for the hassle of trying to get it back, I'd try to get a refund.

The hotel room was in very poor condition, the walls needed painting, old towels in the bathroom, room smelled like someone had been smoking in the room prior to my arrival. The room was so bad I didn’t even stay the night. I had to find another hotel.
Darius
I was harassed and pushed out of this hotel. I am injured , I communicated with the staff the who time and they intentionally provoked me until I got upset. Emotional intelligence is very very low here
Dean

It was a budget price. Staff that we met were nice. Nothing fancy, that was ok, but the 3 pillows on the king were awful flat. Went to Ollies and bought two so we wouldn't have to suffer.
The sink in our room was discolored and full of deep cuts and blemishes. So much so that it seemed unsanitary

I like the fact that the heat work and the air conditioner work no bugs in a place no stuff left behind from the last person that was in the rooms that was a good I give them a plus as in price and convenience

Michael
Excellent service
Brendon
All depends who is working up front. On your experience.
Brendon
There is an awesome lady in front office. For her privacy I will keep her name private but she is one of the sweetest lady’s ever. And there is also a brunette that works during the night that is also very kind. I can not speak for the owners. They are not very pleasant. Neve smile. Are not welcoming but they are lucky to have good employees up front because that draws the business. If it wasn’t for them. I dont think anyone would want to stay here. They are bitter people. The rooms are as good as it gets for the price. Not bad at all. And I am a germaphobe so take my word for it. It’s a decent spot to lay your head
