The door was bashed in and sealed up with tape and it would not close, there was a wood lice bug that jumped out of the sink while washing my hands. The wifi wasn't working, the connection was adverse on the TV. There isn't even a tub feature that is complete.
There was a ring in the sink and the phone was broken with a piece inside. This hotel is not worth the money extended, it is dangerous to enter the hotel itself because of it's spot on the highway. All that is offered here is some chairs for sitting by the lobby and hot water and ice like at other hotels. Do not expect to get much from here. It is like a beat up apartment complex from the 70's, the windows are openable but don't have any screens and the front desk is strangely situated in a way that is on top of the lobby chair space.

Location is right off the highway which might sound great, but it's literally right off the highway which means going from 35-40mph to making a sharp turn into the parking lot. Check in was less than average where we were given one room key. There were a bunch of "no smoking" signs but I think it's more of a suggestion than an actual rule. The entire building smells like a mix of weed and cigarettes. The walls in the room were extremely dirty, the beds were uncomfortable, one bed only had one pillow, the bedsheets were not very clean looking and extremely old, the bathroom door had a hole which was covered by duck-tape, there was mold along the edges of the tub, the bathtub was filthy, the water pressure was very low to the point of water was trickling out of the head. The smell of smoke in the room was so strong that our clothes smelled like smoke even though we got to the hotel by 1130PM and checked out by 9 the next morning. Overall terrible experience

The bed was so noisy, like a metal tank. The TV didn’t have any program. The WiFi was so bad. The bed clothes were derty, I had to go to change. I will not repeat this place

This property has potential to be real good. The bathroom had a funny smell, shower was pretty good. The bed was not comfortable at all and pillows were flat. Definitely needs an upgrade.

We have had decent stays in the past, but this trip was very dissapointing. We had cleaning staff walk in on me changing 30 minutes before check out time...and we did not hear them knock. The shower had mold on the bottom, and the door to the bathroom would barely close (it was just wood, not painted).

The bed frame was off alignment and made a lot of noise; the back side parking was trashy; trash and look like an abandoned building. I parked my car in front of the office instead. Very hotel that own by an Indian or Muslim people are greedy all way around; fro towel to maintenance. Pay $20-30 for other hotel instead of if this cheap and dirty place.

I am currently leaving my room, it is 4:00 am since I am unable to sleep. There's music so loud upstairs, people talking in the hallway and doors slamming that it's impossible to fall asleep!
Additionally, the room is poorly cleaned. There are hairs in the bath, a bath mat is missing, a washcloth is missing. The towels are of a not so absorbent fabric.
I'm disappointed because it's the first time a situation like this has happened to me.

The place is relatively close to New York, it is good for one night but they should clean the bathrooms and the room better

Smelled of marijuana. Walls dirty. Bathroom dirty. Used dirty sheets and cover. Carpets never been cleaned. Dirty towels. Loud shouting all times of night. If you read this and still go, don’t say you didn’t know.

DO NOT STAY.
The only essence about this essence express motel is the horrifying essence of Marijuana in the entire motel, including hallways and the air pumping in your rooms. That is not all. The entire bed was infested with bed bugs, and stains on the cover. The floors were so dirty. The bathroom not cleaned, with used towels. I was ready to throw up. The entire night I heard the next door people’s activities loud & clear. 5:30 am a man shouting for a person to return to their room. The whole stay was worst than a nightmare. Filthy place, horrifying experience.

My husband and I opted to leave because of the condition of the room. The room was absolutely disgusting. The sheets and comforter was not clean. There was human hair all over the comforter and stains. There appeared to be maybe blood all over the bedside lamp and wall. It truly looked like a man ejaculated all over the walls and bed frame. Some that was red and white was on the bed frame up by your head that was chunky. The room smelled like smoke even though it says no smoking. The shower was unfit to use. The hallway leading up to the room was uneven. The whole place was smelly and creepy. Plus its always great when you walk out and see a prostitute leaving and her pimp outside. The person at the desk didnt care one bit on how we felt.

Property was very clean. Customer service was very satisfying. My only problem was it’s a non-smoking building and all you can smell is cigarette.

The bed sheets had stains from the previous guests. House keeping did not bother to change the sheets. I had to call for clean sheets and change them myself. I will never stay i. that place again nor would I recommend anyone to stay there.

Pretty much a disgusting dirty smelly place where obviously illegal activity is going on IYKWIM. Possibly the most disgusting place I’ve ever stepped foot in my life.
