This is a very rinky dink motel not hotel. The floors were slippery and sticky. Toilet was rusted shower was completely out of date. Towels seemed to be really old. Tile floor next to the best rest stains every where. I do not recommend anyone who would like to have a great hotel stay to book a room here.

We smelled cigarette smoke the entire time. Very heavy smoke and could not breathe. Excessive noise in the hallways and loud talking
We could not stay the two nights we paid for. Too toxic. Paid for two nights and lost the money because we had to leave immediately. I recommend you not stay there ever. Totally nasty

Terrible Place - Do Not Stay Here
I wish I could give this place 0 stars. I left after 3 hours because the place was a pigsty and absolutely disgusting. Everything was dirty and the bed felt like it was going to snap in half the second I sat on it. Management is equally awful, as they would not even give me a partial refund. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!

The site told us the room is for 3 people, but at the front desk, we were told no. First room had chicken bones on the ground. Second room was worse than the first one, but at least there wasn’t chicken bones again

The place is dirty, they don’t have blankets. For the beds the bathrooms smell weird. Walls dirty. The pillows are yellow and full of stains. The ac with duct taped. Worst experience ever. Place for extra couple of dollars you can upgrade to a better one.

Bad Experience
First, they do not respect the payment upon arrival service, they charged me before arriving at the hotel, they lied that there was no room with 2 beds, when I said I was going to cancel they charged me an extra fee and gave me a DIRTY room.
