If you've ever seen the movie Vacancy or know of Hotel Bates this might be the hotel for you. Our room reeked of the smell of Pot, the lights were barely able to light up a 2 ft space in the room. The parking lot has no lights whatsoever, and looked like it has never been paved the potholes could soak your car in. When we went to check in the was locked so we couldnt even get to the front desk. When we did finally get in and told him we had a reservation he rudely says "I know". We knew then this wasn't going to be a good experience. Upon checking in he asked us 3 seperate times as rudely as possible if we had pets, and every time we told him no. He acted like i had a monkey or snake stuck up my sleeve or something. When we went back to get a refund, they wanted us to switch rooms. They demand cash that is not refundable cash to get a room key, if you don't have it they'll keep your ID. Don't forget to ask for your ID or they won't give it back to you
I was firm on a refund. They did refund us finally after a 10 minute conversation in which they speak so little English they finally understood why we were asking for a refund. We kept telling him it smelled like pot and smoke he still didn't understand us. While I have no issues with people who speak English as a 2nd language this was beyond not understanding what was going on. If you stay here and don't come out alive, I warned you.

Dated and dirty! Outlets hanging from the walls, phone didn't work, bathroom sink wouldn't drain. Not a bad area at all thankfully. Only 2 other rooms being rented on our side bit different cars were in and out all night from one of the other rooms....drugs or a hooker is the only thing that adds up. It's cheap though if you just need a place to crash!

Do not stay here.

Left immediately!!
The dirtiest place I have ever seen. I am 60+ years old. Always stay at low budget hotels on road trips.
I don’t need anything fancy. Clean bed and towels. I don’t mind a place needing repairs etc.
with that said, upon entering this room and turning the bed covering back, I almost got sick.

Modest, unpretentious, rustic. Service was personal, professional, polite, friendly even.
Cable tv issue attended to promptly. Late night check-in was politely and efficiently dispatched. Very clean, and quiet.
Well worth considering. Two sink vanity, with a modesty screen! I will revisit any time it's convenient. Thank you for your service!

Stinky turd

If i could give this place a negative rating i would. Lipstick in a pig is an understatement. It stinks like indian food throughout. The health dept and building dept should shut this place down. This is a premier example of indian people trying to make money on a complete crap hole. It isnt worth $80. It isnt worth $50/night. It's absolutely horrific. This place is a health and safety hazard. The roll a car along the sidewalk in front of your room staring around 8 am making all kinds of noise. An old angry indian guy is rude to everyone and shouts at the workers. Cheap and corrupt. This place is nothing more than a half polished turd. They should pay people to stay here.

I am honestly surprised to find this motel on Expedia. It was atrocious. And that is not an exaggeration.
My partner and I chose this motel because we were performing in town and needed to be able to easily bring our instruments in our rooms. Parking outside our room made it easy to look after the sound equipment.
However, it was so bad we could not stay. We had to leave and get another hotel room.
Between the seriously overwhelming smell of mold and the filthy room, atleast 8 burn holes in the blankets, rusty moldy non working refrigerator and microwave. Really really bad.
I warn you. I am not being too harsh or critical. I did not expect much for the price but this should be shut down! The health department should be notified.

Disgusting! Avoid at all cost!

Avoid at all costs!! This was the most disgusting "hotel" room I have ever seen. They curtains were literally disintegrating. The floor was filthy with dirt and bugs. The door to the room didn't seal at all so it was drafty and extremely noisy. No surprise that the room stunk of mildew as well. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money and stay literally anywhere else. What ever they charge at this "hotel" is far too much.

The sheets had black stains all over them, along with the black marks on the towels. The bed comforter had a huge rip in it. The a/c unit & outlets had to be from the 50’s. They cut the light switch panel to fit between the door & window. Several missing curtain clips to hold the curtain up. When the bathroom fan was on there was a horrible smell. 1 time the bathroom light worked, the next it didn’t. Bathroom door wouldn’t close, paint chipping on the inside door. I think the only thing new in that room was the floor. Have several photos.

DO NOT STAY. My fiancée & I spent 1 night here & Would not recommend this place AT ALL.

We walked in & the room smells absolutely foul, the bed skirt is black from who knows what, the doors, walls everything just looks gross & dirty, thankfully the sheets looked clean so we did stay but slept in as most clothes as we could.

The next morning we wanted to shower & the towels are black, nasty & looks like they have never been cleaned. Thankfully we had our own towels. The tub does not drain, the sink does not drain, it’s honestly the worst place I’ve ever stayed in.

As well, when we got there to check in the front desk was requesting $10 for the room key in cash after we had already paid for the room. He then was requesting to take our ID in place of $10.

Would love to have had a refund. Not worth the money we spent on it.

My husband and I booked this hotel for two nights, as it was close to the event were attending for the weekend. We had no problem at the desk checking in.
But when we got to our room, we were surprised to see how filthy it was. The room was 80 degrees and the air conditioner didn't work at first. The front desk got it to work and also gave us a fan.The light in the shower and toilet area didn't work. There was a old camper parked in the parking lot with half a dozen cats or more in. A generator was running. My husband asked the gentleman if the generator was going to run all night, he said no he was turning it off soon. He needed to cool the camper down because his cats were over heated. He and his wife lived in a room.
We did make the best of our stay.
Thankful for clean bedding, halfway decent bed, and a hot shower in the dark.
The gentleman with the generator did turn it off at 10, but had it running at 9 in the morning, again.

worse hotel ever

the unit was dirty, the towels looked unclean, it rain threw the bathroom exhaust vent and I almost slip due to the unknown water accumulated on the bathroom floor, the windows were dirty to the point you can barely see out side the window. I will never ever stay in such a place again. Once I arrive there I thought I was at the wrong hotel. I cancel the reservation and went else where to found out every thing was booked in the area. I had to go back to the Toll way Inn and had to pay again since I had cancel the reservations due to the conditions of the hotel.

Expedia recommended a HORRIBLE motel, which I sadly booked. The staff was rude, and they demanded cash at the door, more than what was mentioned on expedia, I wasn't prepared for that. I didn't have cash on me at the time, and the whole situation was horribly stressful.

When I pulled into the property, the lot was horribly maintained. Seemed like a place I could get for no more than $40 anywhere else, not near the equivalent of a nicer known property in the area.

When I walked in the door, it reeked of smoke and who know what else, dust, urine..? I'm not sure, it was nasty. I feared for the quality of the room. The whole area felt disgusting. And I didn't get a good feeling when they demanded more cash than what was expected! I expected an easier friendlier check in! I told them to cancel running my card. I didn't want to stay there. I didn't feel comfortable there.

They told me to contact Expedia for the refund and to cancel. The Expedia assistant was hardly better. He tried to tell me it wasn't refundable before he was even concerned as to the "why". He asked multiple times, right after asking questions, if we were "still connected", I hardly even had time to type to answer him! I felt rushed in trying to get help. This was a horrible experience all around, and I'm disappointed in both Expedia and this trashy motel.

Clean, comfortable for price point, nice people

Lower cost hotel room expectations... If priced higher - would be not good - but awesome for price point.

Liked the size of the room, liked that the toilet had a cover you could close but toilet space was too narrow for a really big dude. Ceilings were slightly low, but not uncomfortably low ( :) - so be careful when mindlessly taking off a shirt above your head) but we are tall people.

The room was spotlessly clean. When I walked into the bathroom, I noticed that the towels looked “dindgy”, but when I checked them by smelling them, they were perfect and smelled clean.

Would definitely stop here again.
