Literally the worst experience at a motel ever. First when we check in we have to give a 50
00 cash deposit which isn't shown on the listing. So then there's a convenient atm for an additional 3.00. I take out 60 give it to the manager as he's doing whatever. He then gave me the reciept which i demanded. He kept acting shady like he was pretending to not speak english. Then he tried to tell me he gave me the change which he didnt. I had to argue to get my 10.00. Have me a key and no direction as to where the room was. We drove around the bldg lots of people living there and hanging around...super uncomfy. The room was all the way in the back corner where we couldnt see anything. \"Cameras\" were everywhere with warnings that they arent responsible for theft or harm to you...sketch. the room was upstairs. Ashes on the wall(?) Underwear and other stuff under the bed. Rooms cigarette smell was so bad you could taste it. We drop our stuff and leave and try to find another hotel but we literally cant find another one. We come back a bit after 9pm. People again hanging around. We park the car under the window under a light. Come out the next morning. Someone tried to break into our car. Go to the office livid theres a guy in there mad because he woke up with bites all over his neck and his eye swollen. They wouldnt refund our money or his. Mgr didnt care. Made us wait 20 min to get our deposit back while he had them check the room. The police were called but no \"footage\"

I went through the reviews and should have paid closer attention.

Apparently I needed to fight my way through a crowd of people standing around smoking to a little sliding window that had no or lights and check in there.

I went somewhere else. I wouldn’t go to this hotel ever again.

Think twice

It was the less expensive of a hotel on my route. Honestly, I'll pay a little more next time to bypass this establishment. The workers seemed fearful of patrons...making the stop uncomfortable. One needed a cash deposit with no exceptions. And handily, there was an ATM next to the counter. When checking out, there was a window covered in paper. The person slightly opened it slightly and had to holler for communication. Not so traveler friendly by a long shot.

The filthiest, unsanitary place - stay away!!!

This was our worst hotel stay in my entire life! Hotels.Com should remove this property from its listings and van from ever listing with them again in order not to discredit its own reputation! Never in my life have I seen a place as filthy and unsanitary as this. They must get inspected! This establishment should not be allowed to operate for sanitary reasons! The first room we were put into smelled like a morgue, the toilet was unapproachable - filthy, moldy and cracked, the bathtub was filthy beyond any comprehension and cracked, same applies to the sink. The chair was simply untouchable. The beds were made, but revealed a horrible surprise - the linens were not changed from previous guests had pubic hair, hair, eyelashes, dirt and there were mice droppings under the pillows. Room was ice cold. We were out within few minutes, back to reception stating that the room was not acceptable. We would have left and asked for a full refund, but it was late and we had to get up very early for a ski race at Blue mountain, so had no other option but to stay. We were put in the handicapped room next to the reception, which was much cleaner. The bedding was still very iffy so we slept in our clothes. The hearting system had to options to blast heat or to be off - so the room was hot as a sauna as a result. When we search for hotel our filter was set for breakfast to be included - that was a deal breaker for us. Off coarse there was absolutely no breakfast offered of any kind. Stay away!

You get what you pay for

I chose this hotel randomly on my way home from a long road trip. I travel frequently, out of the country, many cheap hotels, and do not usually have a very high bar. This hotel was a bit on the edge of what I am comfortable with. Looked kind of like a shady/cheap hotel in a movie about drug or human trafficking.

PROS: Easy highway access, lots of businesses around, front staff was very friendly, sheets smelled and looked clean. Cheap. Free wifi was good. We made it out safely, and no bedbugs.

CONS: Room and hotel were incredibly run-down and dirty (dirty cup on the floor in my room, pile of dirt next to the bed, soap scum in the bathtub, frayed rug in hallways). I did not feel safe, just because of the look of the place. Room is reserved through a window, which may be a COVID thing. Entry doors to room hallways did not close, never mind lock. Non-smoking room smelled like old smoke. Sign at the check in window said that they weren't cleaning rooms because of Covid (I assume that they meant for multi-night stays) and that if anyone complains they will be asked to leave.

If you just need a place to sleep, it's ok. Outside pool is closed, I was told due to COVID-19 restrictions, yet other hotels, which have inside and outside pools, do have them open. Second floor ice and snack machines, were both empty. First floor ice and soda machines, were both working, but there isn't a snack machine.
