Cockroaches

There was a major cockroach infestation. I thought I could deal with it for one night until one of them crawled across my face when I was laying in bed. I ended up sleeping in my car and got a full refund the very next day.

Manager was very kind but…. The property was the worst I have seen. It was like I was in a 3rd world country slum. Room smelled of mold and smoke. As soon as my wife entered, she started to have gag reflex from the smell. We left the room immediately and just slept in the seats of our van. This property rents out weekly rooms (not a good thing).

Property had alot of transients, sitting around the property and a gentleman wearing an ankle tracker, and many people coming and going. Not they did anything wrong , just as young woman it made us feel very unsafe. Didn’t even walk to eat so we drove so we didn’t leave the vehicle there.
No coffee in the room. Lady at the check in was very friendly. And our room was clean.

First, I'll say the manager, I think her name was Michelle, was extremely nice and when I called before arriving about questions I had she would call me back within minutes if I did not reach her directly.
That said, I would avoid this property. The buildings were shabby looking. There were cobwebs In the landing, going up to our motel room. The windows were not clean. Our room had one circuit of outlets that did not work. The ceiling tiles and floor were stained, and the room was definitely a smoking room.
The hotel was close to one of our destinations, but we did not feel safe to walk to our other destinations and drove instead. Surprisingly, this hotel was as expensive as other properties on our trip. So beware!

Room was clean, but the outside needed a lot of work, and people were smoking, a lot of people if my wife was with me, we would not have stayed but was by myself and I'm a big guy, had no cups, all the room had was a small bar of soap and small shampoo, and the clock did not work the first night, but the gal got me a different one. very small air unit so it was not that cool.

I wanted a cheap place to sleep, and that's what I got. The check-in was a friendly experience, the a/c was on, and the room was nice and cool upon entering. So I got what I essentially needed. But the place is in rough condition. The billboard out front indicated weekly rate options, and you can tell that this is a long stay motel for some. The decor is largely untouched and in its original state, with wood paneling in the bedroom and 50s era pink tiling in the bathroom. There was a drawer missing from a chest of drawers. Some outlets and light fixtures did not work. There was a hole in the sheet, exposing the mattress. There were stickers on the mirror, some of which were partially removed in a half-hearted attempt, while some were left untouched. There was an in-wall kleenex tissue holder that had an empty box. The room was clean, but dark with the wood paneling and limited lighting, and I chose not to assess the cleanliness too closely.
We stayed a second night in the area and opted for a different place to stay. But I got some sleep in an air-conditioned room, which was most important.

The motel needs to be closed to the public. I am so upset I woke up to bed bug bites all over my arms and shoulders. I didnt feel unsafe but the motel is old and run down and its not worth the 90 dollars. People live here and outside there rooms its bbq pits, old chairs and bikes. I will Never recommend this motel to anyone. The front desk ladies were very nice to me but its just a stuck in the 70's motel stay in the tourist are exit 392 on that strip. Dont put your health at risk to just save a few bucks.

Just don't

Let's just say that it should have come as no surprise that this was the absolute last hotel to have a room available for rent in a 100 mile radius. Pulling into the property you knew the prospects weren't just not good, they were nonexistent. The room assigned was on the 2nd floor. The railing wasn't safe. The 2nd floor causeway felt like it was going to give way at any moment. Then for the room...1950s original. Curtains so old they had pin holes from the sun burning them for 70 years. They were draped on the rods and were useless. The room was 61 degrees, window cracked to ease the smell, no blankets for the beds, and no hot water. The low that night was 34 so kicked on the heat - baseboard heat. It never worked and probably I was safer that it didn't work as the place might have burnt down. Bathroom had no toiletries. It also had an electric plug next to the sink from 1950 that wasn't GFI. Missing lightbulbs and open sockets was the impressive bathroom decor. Bed was short to the ground as I don't think it had any springs. If you wanted the alarm clock you would need to unplug one of the lights. I honestly don't know how the city hadn't yet red tagged / condemned the property. So if you are incredibly desperate and there is the choice of booking here or spending the night in your car, well, hopefully the seat belt isn't too much of a bother.

I opted for another room, which was a single. Room was dirty, stains on floor, handicapped seat on toilet wasnt removable, curtains barely hangin on, ice machine didnt work, neighbors were noisy, roomed smelled like smoke and pee. Bed was 2 box springs and super uncomfortable. Do not stay here, this is your warning and dont say I didnt warn you.

For the price it was okay. There were lots of bars and restaurants around within walking distance. The lady in the front office was a total sweetheart. The MAIN complaint was the lock on the room door. You had to use an actual key, and only the bottom lock could be locked from the outside. The more secure top lock could only be locked from inside the room. There were lots of people hanging around outside, and it just gave one the feeling of wondering if your stuff was going to be there when you got back to the room. Also the pillows are terrible. I left the next morning with a back neck ache. Despite all of the complaining, it was okay for the price and we'd probably stay again if we are in the area.

This property badly needs a refurbish or something. Pretty dumpy.... Stayed with my 6/yo daughter over Labor Day weekend and felt very insecure. Overall cleanliness was dismal. The deadbolt lock on our room was MISSING and the door knob lock was pathetic. Basically spent the weekend without a locking door. The window molding was broken and falling apart. Curtains are in tatters. No key drop box. Paid $79/night on a holiday weekend and feel like I overpaid.

Take the chance!

Other than being outdated, there wasn't really anything displeasing. The hours for the front desk say they open at 8am, we waited in the parking lot until about 8:20am before just leaving our key in the room to check out because the sign was still showing \"closed\". Though, I might have missed check out instructions while checking in. The woman at the front desk at check in was super nice, check in was quick and easy! Contrary to some reviews, it didn't seem like people lived there. No one was bothersome. The property is really close to everything! Literally right next to The Tower of History. If you're not concerned about having the nicest looking room, I'd recommend this place. You can't go wrong for the price!
