The stay was a disaster from the moment we walked in. The floor looked like it hadn’t met a mop since the Bush administration, the shower ceiling was literally shedding pieces like it was molting, and the “internet access” was just a decorative lie. To top it off, an older lady decided to wake me up by screaming at me on checkout morning like I was the problem. No clean room, no working amenities, no extra sheets, no towels, no offer to move us—just vibes and disrespect.

If you’re thinking about staying here, don’t. Unless you enjoy dirty floors, falling ceilings, and being yelled at before breakfast.

Classic example of \"you get what you pay for.\" It was only $80 for the night and not worth more; seedy motel, room was tiny, didn't even have a closet or a hook to hang clothes, the bed was like sleeping on the floor and the walls are paper thin; a couple next door was having a screaming match all night and I got no sleep at all. No one in the office when I checked out in the morning, just a slot to drop off the key. I would have been better off sleeping in the car.

when first arrived was given a room. when I entered the room, I went to turn on the a/c, and it wasn't working. The wall where the a/c was plugged in was torn away and dangling. I went to the front desk, and they told me that I didn't know how to turn it on. so, they sent the repair man to the room to show me how to turn it on. Even the repair man said that the whole wall that the a/c was plugged into was blown. It was 97 degrees out I wasn't going to stay in a room with no a/c. I had to beg them to give me another room. they made me wait 2 hours for a new room outside in 97-degree weather. the pictures they have online aren't the same that you get. I would never stay there again.

Let's start by saying that both Expedia and the property double charged my credit card bor the same booking. After contacting both sides neither one is accepting responsibility and claim i did not show up for my reservation even after providing credit card statement. Neither party can explain the reason for the double charge and continue to make excuses. Very disappointed especially with Expedia. Myself and everyone i know will no longer use their services.

Parking was awful, the lot is super small. The washcloth had small curly hairs left (likely from an under-area of the body). When I went to ask for two new washclothes the lady in the office accusingly suggested that we had more than 2 people in the room (myself and wife) and then proceeded to withold them. I had to comeback pretty stern before she would agree to provide 2 clean ones. I was offended, besides - the room was a closet with just a king bed and the remnants lf where a closet used to be or at least a closet pool. The batheoom was newly renovated but i guess they said screw the room. The pile of dirt along the baseboards looks like no one cleaned properly in there in months, likely just changing sheets and seldomly wiping down counters. Had to clean the shower as well before we could use it. We ended up using our shirts to dry off because one of the towels also looked used and we didnt realize it until after the whole washcloth fiasco. The place is rundown, the paint is chipping, graffiti/tags on the wall... dont beleive the photos. Maybe it looked like that when they first opened but thats not how it looks now. We just wanted a cheap place to get some privacy for intimacy, we have a full house of adult children... we will NEVER come back to this dump again. I dont think they really like lesbians either 😕

I like the fact that you can check in as early as 1pm although the sign in the office states 2pm as opposed to online policy of 1pm. I arrived at 1:20pm and they accommodate me immediately. Very friendly hotel staff and everyone was hard at work cleaning the rooms. You enter the room with magnetic keycard. You can lock the door but there wasn’t a second lock. Very convenient location.

Walking into the room it smelled clean and looked clean with fresh linens. The bed was comfortable and mattress was surprisingly not worn. Room was roughly 12’x14’ with a separate bathroom and hall.

The large flatscreen TV using Xfinity cable service worked but immediately went dead. No worries. I walked to the office and the sent a technician to fix and instruct me on its use. The WIFI worked fine 40Mbs Download and 15Mbs Upload

AC & Heat work fine albeit a little loud using a thru the wall combo unit. You need to step on a chair to read the controls. The old baseboard heaters are still installed and I’m not sure if they work. If they dont work they should be removed as they are not appealing.

The stainless steel mini fridge was cold. The microwave is powerful except someone disabled the circulating tray. Still works but I kept rotating my food.

The bathroom was bright with new white curtains, marble sink, nice mirror and Calming Tides Shampoo & Soap. You could use the shower or tub except the drain didn’t close for a bath. No worries i grabbed a piece of rubber and stopped it up.

I reserved a room on 7/13 through Expedia checked in the hotel with management showing my reservation online confirmed, after showing my id several times as well. The property manager pretended that he didn't see the reservation. I requested an upgrade on the bed size and was told the amount would be 80.00 for the stay. I stated to the male front desk that I already reserved my stay through Expedia showing my reservation and ask since he was asking for cash payment would I be charged on my card the management stated no I could pay in cash and will not be charged double. I paid the front desk 80.00 in cash management deliberately didn't give me a cash receipt for cash payment, and I was also charged on my card for the amount of the reservation which was paid for in the amount of 86.03. I tried several attempts to contact management even going back to location in request of cash receipt for stay on 7/13 check out 7/14 around 1:00 - 1:30 p.m. no resolution no response.

Looks nice until further inspection

I checked in late at night and was surprised how nice it was. I went into the bathroom and for soem reason the heat was on which made zero sense it was 100 degree weather. After shutting the AC off to sleep the room became unbearable but at 1am I sucked it up while waking up in a sweat. When checking out I told the owner what happened and he argued with me with full attitude. I was told why didn't I switch rooms at midnight and that they could've solved the issue at that hour. Zero customer service and raising your voice solves nothing. The bed looked nice but was flat. Lucky I'm 170 because any larger person would've sunked right in. I also had a cockroach run across my laptop which made it tough to fall asleep. That morning I noticed blood on the floor and a gross dental pick that was never thrown out. He said it was paint lol. Will add the pic later. The family that owns this needs to learn what customer service is instead of hiding behind their window.
