It was a functional room at a cheap price. There were a few imperfections in the shower tile, but I wasn’t paying for the top-end hotels.
I had a minor problem with the door lock but it was handled quickly.
I recommend for travelers on a budget.

This very nasty, dirty smoke saturated place. All pictures as fake. I went to room and back to my car to find alternative accommodations. My expectations were low but this place is worse than I could have imagined. I felt dirty and disgusting by merely entering the room. The mold in the bathroom, the stain on the sheets and towel are just the beginning. I returned the key and told the front desk person I could not stay there and offered to show him the room to see if he would stay there. He refused and said I would get my refund. They still kept my money for two days even though I never stayed there.

If I am able to save someone from booking this horrible mistake as I did, then the cost was worth it.

This is the worst “hotel” we have ever booked. The property was NOT a hotel at all. Maximum could call as Motel!
There was No front desk, in stead, it just has a little closed, steer protected space to let people check in. Before our family moved in, I saw a guy angrily came out that little space with complain that he couldn’t check in due to time passed even he paid full. The “hotel” person only told him “this was fully video and monitored by police”?!
With the worry, when we stepped into the two rooms we booked, they both full of heavy smoking smell, very dirty sheets and bed, very old and rusted air conditioners!! We even found bugs on wall and bed. When taking to property person, he insisted sheets and bed changed, no other free room to move. Even mentioning we did NOT book non-smoke room, that we were not aware of smoking and non-smoking situation from site description! He even admitted no matter how they enforced non smoking in rooms, but guests did NOT follow rules! But how this property could put so many faking pictures that were totally different from the real situation onsite??? how they got 4.6 ratings in Expedia , but in google search we found only rate lowest rated property???
Finally we ended up stay in car whole night as the room was completely NOT acceptable!!! We did complain to Expedia regarding this cheating and faking description and rate! We wish to get response soon from Expedia.Next time better check google information!

The pictures for this property are false advertising. When you drive up, it is apparent this is a motel and it is being used as both an extended and short term by various people. Take from that what you will. Felt extremely unsafe. The staff seem uninterested at check in, almost like I was bothering them. Ultimately, I left and ended up staying at another hotel altogether out of concerns for my safety and the safety of my rental car overnight.

The room might have been clean, but has been neglected enough that you could not tell. There appears to be mold in the bathroom, duct tape holding up air conditioner heater, stains on the sheets, and walls maybe an old used teabag and some cruft - maybe a blueberry - in the corner. The towels were dingy and only one bath towel for a king bed and two people. We would have left but we got in so late and were so tired. We didnt step foot in the shower and kept our shoes on the whole time.

Really needs some TLC, paint and repairs, but maybe its just in a really rough, sketchy area and is sufficient for some clientele?

Got the place for work, disgusting is all I got. There’s yellow stuff that has dried on the walls that looks to have dripped down said walls. Heroin spoon and or crack pipe burns on the table and dresser. Stains and burn holes all over the towels and bedding. One towel per week and one set of sheets per week. Which I never even got new sheets and was here 11 days, or room service for that matter. I had to bother them for towels and it felt awkward everytime, so much so I bought some. Also I’m almost 1000% positive a smooshed a roach in the bathroom.

Families Stay Away!

I strongly advise against staying at this hotel, as it is entirely unsuitable for travelers, particularly families with children. The property is in a deplorable state of disrepair, with broken windows that pose a safety hazard and cigarette stains on the drapes that contribute to an unclean and unpleasant environment. The sidewalks, gates, and doors are crumbling, making navigation around the premises unsafe and uninviting.
Moreover, the clientele frequenting the hotel raises serious concerns about security. The overall atmosphere feels unsettling, and the lack of maintenance suggests a complete disregard for guest comfort and safety. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a secure and pleasant lodging experience. Save your money and look elsewhere.

The only saving grace to this room was the bed, which was fantastic. The bedding was clean, but stained. The bathrrom looked clean, but there was a cockroach on the toilet paper, and then in the shower stall. The window had cracks like it was about to shatter. Several outlets didnt work. We definitely got what we paid for.

This is perhaps, the worse place I’ve ever been to.
The room was nothing like what was advertised. I guess that’s what you get for trying to find a “cheap” place.
The room had a pungent smell and it was impossible for me and my partner to stay there given one of us has a chronic health concern.

We spoke to the gentleman in charge of the place and he said he’s sorry there’s nothing he could do and he couldn’t issue a refund either.
We quietly told him it’s fine and he can keep the money and we left as quickly as our feet could carry us.
I will not recommend this place to anyone.

Filthy Room, DANGEROUS Stay NEVER AGAIN

Easily the worst hotel I’ve ever experienced. First off the pictures on the hotels.com site are not even remotely from the site. The room smelled like a mix between cheap bleach and piss. The shower was full of mold. I was afraid to sit on the. It was noticeably not clean. There was a crack head peering in my window. Legitimately feared for my life. I stayed about 3 hours. Asked the front desk for a refund. They denied. I got out of there as fast as I could regardless.

I'm guessing it was the people that live there. I guess the only way for them to make any money is to not give refunds. Expedia should be ashamed to have this listed on their app.

If you want to stay in a shelter or brothel, OYO!

Had I wanted to stay in a homeless shelter I wouldn’t have tried staying at a hotel. Also now I know where to find a prostitute in Peoria, IL. As I was trying to check in, a woman started a crazy ruse about being locked out of her room by a supposed partner and then she asked if I could give her a ride. I decided at that time I wasn’t going to stay. The desk clerk, an older Caucasian man with blonde hair, told me my reservation was canceled and I wouldn’t get charged. Then I was charged! This hotel
Is not for tourists or for business travelers. It is for homeless people and those looking to hook-up. This place should be advertised as a brothel and flop house and not as a respectable hotel.

While the rooms were very clean, and we were put in a decent location. The deadbolt didnt lock to anything no chain on door as extra precaution. But it was ok for what i needed. Just one night waiting on a baby to be born. I dont think id stay there again, due to safety concerns. But the people running it were very nice, so if you really need an affordable motel near hospital for a night. This one is ok.

There were uncleaned bodily fluid stains, residue from who knows what kind of drugs, and general filth. I walked my key back to the office and drove 4 hours home at 11pm.
