We weren’t comfortable in the beds, and the air conditioner only worked in one of the two rooms. We got two rooms because of snoring which made it not helpful to have the leave the door open. Also, there was no mirror in the bathroom. I don’t plan on staying here again.

* Severe Property Damage: The room was in a \"destroyed\" state, specifically broken furniture, holes in walls and TV that was not working properly.
* Sanitation Violations: The room was filthy, including mold in the walls and bathroom ceiling, dirty all over the floor and spots in the towels.
* Safety Hazards: I felt unsafe due to exposed wiring and lack of safety equipments as required by law like fire/smoke detectors .

The room was unusable, dirty. Not ready for anyone sleeping there. Penty of hair and stains on the covers. Once I checked in, I did not find any available staff to complain to, and I needed to get to a wedding and prepare.

I immediately booked another room in another hotel and left the keys in the room as I was instructed to do if I had to do an early checkout.

I would like to request a refund for these reasons. I did not take pictures as I was in a time crunch, but I do have and can provide my reservation at the other hotel I made before leaving. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Very sketchy motel. Dirty, barely any hot water or pressure, owners unfriendly (seemed annoyed or inconvenienced). The door knob was loose and the windows were extremely old and not secured, did not sleep due to windows being so easy to just push open n crawl in, cockroaches (bombed my stuff before putting back into car). Towels were old and stained up.
Disgusting at best. Oh and parking was really tight, hard to get around other parked cars on a circle drive. Homeless people all over sitting infront and all around entrance. NEVER AGAIN

This was a terrible stay, The first room we stayed in the shower handled broken. also I booked a king room and was given a room with two full size beds, not queens, not the king i paid for, but full size beds meant for children. The second room we where moved in again still wasnt a king room like i paid for, the paint on the walls didnt match, the towels had stains and rips in them. when i was forced to extend my trip, the manager/owner made me pay an additional 30$ to stay in the same room. the doors didn't lock all the way, the back door for the back porch was drilled closed most likely due to it being broken and instead of replacing the door they drilled it shut. I very much hated staying here and will never stay here again even if they paid me.

This place was a dump , i wouldn't even consider it a Motel , The pictures on the site are completely a lie , taken from another Hotels site . There were substance abusers living in every other room. The bathroom door frame was completely rotted out , the hinge wasn't connected. The room size was barely big enough for the full-size bed it had , i was supposed to have a queen. When i checked in and when i went to question about the room , the owner talked to me through a little slot in window, wouldn't even open the door so i could hear him. Expedia needs to remove this hotel from there site , very very very disappointed i booked this on your site , may consider othere site for next month's trip.

Owner was rude right off the bat. I checked in at 10:30 ( the latest they'd allow) and he left shortly after. I left my belongings and headed to work and when I returned to shower and go to bed, I noticed the towel had visible fresh and old stains. I turned the comforter over to check the bed and one of the beds had stains on the sheets and the other had stains on the comforter.

There were also a group of homeless people sitting outside of my window laughing and talking. I didn’t feel safe at all and since the office was closed, I couldn't address any of my concerns.

I left at 4am the same night and had to drive an hour to get home. I called the office 3 times before 10 and never got an answer back. I had to purchase another hotel in the area for that night and when I went to return the keys and discuss the refund, the owner closed the door on me and walked away.

This man should be put out of business... no one should be staying in those conditions. This establishment is not in good shape or maintained.

Left my cell phone in the room, locator showed it was in their office, but noone found it. Extended my stay another day. Kept the same room. Didn’t need housekeeping, but they charged a $25 fee to keep the same room. Which you have to pay in cash to the fromt desk agent. Kept my deposit because i didnt take out my own trash, which I did bag up for them. I would say you get what you pay for, but after a stolen phone and scammed on $50, I certainly lost money.

My experience at this hotel was extremely disappointing and disturbing. From the moment I entered the room, it was clear that cleanliness and hygiene were not a priority. I encountered cockroaches crawling on the floor and furniture, and to make matters worse, I found worms in the shower. This level of neglect is completely unacceptable for any establishment hosting guests.

The bathroom was filthy, with grime in the corners and a foul odor that made it difficult to use. The bedding looked unwashed, and the overall condition of the room was rundown and poorly maintained. I felt uncomfortable and unsafe staying there, and I was genuinely concerned about health risks due to the unsanitary environment.

I would strongly advise others to avoid this hotel until significant improvements are made in cleanliness, pest control, and general maintenance. This was by far one of the worst lodging experiences I’ve ever had.

The good:
- bathroom has been renovated.
- sheets were ok
- bed was ok
- air conditioner took a long time and was loud but worked ok
- newer tiled floor throughout.
- comfy office chair
- roomy

The not so good:
- dirty curtains, don’t even close unless you poke a nail through the fabric.
- sketchy neighborhood
- baseboards, trims etc need replacing as they’re filthy and banged/chewed up? And some are missing
- dated bedspread wasn’t clean
- fridge was rusted out at the bottom of the door
- couch springs broken
- thin walls/doors
- lamp switch missing
- broken door on dresser
- smelled like pee by the beds?
- toilet base full of dried pee and hair
- grease stained shower curtain

We should have left but it was late and we had a very early flight. Didn’t sleep all night as there was sirens and street /back alley noise.
We often stay in budget hotels and quite enjoy them and supporting smaller local businesses. We aren’t fussy and just want a clean room, and a comfortable bed. This is the worst place we’ve ever stayed in. Our cost Canadian was $227 with tax. Complete rip off. You’d have a better sleep in your car. I see they have some better business bureau complaints they haven’t responded to. How do they stay in business? The neighbours were out early in the morning and they said they didn’t sleep at all and had a horrible experience.

Keep on going.

The room smelled very musty and the wall shaker a/c kept shutting off even though it was on the lowest temputure it would go 64 and fan was on not auto. The bathroom had all dirt stained towels and a half roll of tp. There were no pictures on any walls. The giant closet was there but no bar to hang anything on or pegs.the TV was a 24 inch. No lamp just a ceiling light to light up the room. A night stand and a kitchen chair were in the room as well as a mini frudge and microwave which didnt dare open due to the roach motel on the floor next to them. We did feel a bit secure with the bars on the windows. The double bed, (I swear, because it was small) had stained sheets and a comforter from 1978. The mattress itself had black stains so no luggage what-so-ever were brought into the room and we got to enjoy 2 useless pillows that were as flat as Nebraska. The floor was covered in sand as well.I am not sure who the front desk guy thought we were, but I had to pay a 50.00 deposit for what I'm not sure. The room was 83.00 a night plus all the taxes and fees, but not worth it. I should have just kept driving. I don't expact a whole bunch for that price, but something at least clean and relatively comfortable. We were tired and wanted to eat and sleep so it did its job, at it absolute bare minimum.
