Nothing about this place was likeable. Stain sheets & box spring cover..shower head was held together with clear tape, shower fixture wasn’t flushed to the wall, ac unit was missing vent cover, second room they offered us wasn’t better-coachroachs, mircowave was filthy dirty and looked rusty in areas. We ended up leaving- lost one night but were able to be refunded last two days. Wish I could post pictures I took!

Staff was great, room was rundown. No fire detector, fan falling off of ceiling in bathroom held by ductape, mold, no garbage cans in room, went out to buy our own sheets & towels, random noise & transients overnight. Not worth saving $ to stay here

WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR TO YOUR ROOM 😳😳😳
Dirty ! Stains everywhere ! Door couldn’t close all the way ! Shower not working properly ! AC was semi-working at times ! The list goes on……… I should have taken photos, I was in shock 😳 . I rented this room because it was an emergency, and not thinking at all , and you can’t cancel or get your refund!

Unfortunately the property looked nothing like the pictures. It was also my first time seeing screw nails held up by duct tape as a coat rack in the bathroom. There was a whole in our front window. The bathroom smelled like freshly smoked meth or some chemical. And the front door wouldn’t lock. It was rough to even stand in the main room longer than a minute without the smell becoming over whelming. Informed the attendant but they told me their rooms were full and there was no other availability. I highly do not recommend this place stay open for business.

What an experience this motel was !! And not in a good way alcohol drugs plumbing issues rooms in decay. Crazy fights at 4:00 a.m. in the morning. I will not recommend anybody stay in this place. Pay an extra 20 bucks and go somewhere else
