It was a very busy street and also unsafe. The stairs looked unsafe too. Nothing like the pictures. Disappointing, we just used it to change and decided not to go back at night.

Disgusting
This place is absolutely disgusting. I’m so sad we had to stay here. There was no cold water, only hot. Burn holes in the bedding, bugs on the floor. And when we walked in the room, it looks like somebody had already been laying in the bed. It was so incredibly discussing. It doesn’t look anything like the pictures online I have never stayed in such a disgusting motel. I couldn’t wait to leave.

Keep Driving. Don’t stay here
Sadly, I have to give at least one star. This hotel is a zero star hotel. It is absolutely terrible. When you check in, you have to deal with the receptionist through a small slit, like visiting the drug store at 2am in a rough neighbourhood. I thought, wow, is this a rough neighbourhood? But it’s not, I think the receptionists lock themselves away, to protect themselves from the customers. This place is so bad. When we walked into our room it stank of smoke, even though it was a non smoking room. There were holes in the bedsheets and holes in the top cover - looked like cigarette burns. Of course, there was the obligatory light bulbs out. When we went to heat some food in the microwave there was a plate of green, hairy pasta in it (see photo). Even after I threw that away, the state of the microwave was disgusting. We couldn’t figure out what was going on. This place is so bad. It’s like everyone has just given up. The room was so dirty. You may say, what do you expect. It’s low budget, but we’ve traveled around the US for 5 weeks and stayed at 2 other Econo lodges and this was off the scale in terribleness. I’m never staying in another Econo lodge. Not taking that risk again

2/10 Poor

I didn’t expect much with booking a cheap motel, as I have done many times before for even cheaper rates, however I was so disgusted I couldn’t even sleep. The bedding smelled strongly like sweat, the whole place was dirty, the bathroom door was smashed and broken in, there was a car air freshener hanging on the AC unit I’m assuming to try and mask the smell of cigarettes? I didn’t even feel comfortable taking off my shoes in the hotel, and truly considered sleeping in the truck instead. There was two flat sheets, no fitted sheet, and some sort of mattress pad that was stained with yellow spots all over. Because there was no fitted sheet, I guess they expected me to sleep directly on the mattress pad? I’ve stayed in many discount hotels in the past and definitely wasn’t expecting much, but any halfway decent person would not enjoy staying here. If I hadn’t gotten in past midnight I would have looked for somewhere else even if I had to pay for two places.

Everything was dirty. From the toilet to shower it was dirty. The floor was dirty the cabinets of dresser were broken. The lights did not work in the room. The shower did not have a curtains. It’s honestly the worst hotel I stayed in. The beds felt like they were going to break. After checking in I left after one hour it was unbearable being in there I had to go look for another hotel. I wasted my time. And I want to get a refund for this horrible experience

Got three rooms and first off one of the rooms had poop in the toilet then the next two tv not working asked the front office that tvs didnt work said they were going to send someone to check them out and no one did then one of the beds was broken and found a roach crawling on the floor and soaps where open and shampoo bottles almost empty. Do not recommend this hotel rather spend a little more money and feel safe and be somewhere else cleaner.

I only wish I took pictures ...
So initially we were placed in a room that was previously smoked in, it reaked (and i'm pregnant) ... we stayed three nights and four days and not once did anyone go into the room to change out the trash or give us new toilet paper. The bed did not have a bed sheet so we could not use the blankets properly. The chairs in the room had wet stains on them. The room did not look like it was properly cleaned and disinfected. It is honestly a GREAT spot in town that's why we chose it, but we will not be staying there again..
