The property didn't have a checkin at the desk, you had to go to the hotel next door to check in.
The area was also somewhat desolate unless you went over about half a mile.
The room itself was OK but not for the price. Little flys everywhere and bedding was torn.
Access to the highway was the highlight.

Found an opened package of s*x cream underneath the extra toilet paper roll. Looks like there is illicit activity happening at this location. Checked out early and front desk staff was extremely unhelpful. Didn’t get any refund.

Nice front desk and housekeeping, but pretty nasty bed, it had a large dried up yellow stain that can be seen going through blankets and white bed sheets, both beds had large holes most likely caused by someone’s cigarette. Everything else was good, AC and refrigerator was cold and good. They gotta make sure beds are clean and with no nasty stain, it was pretty disgusting. Overall was ok.

I arrived at the property around 8:30 pm on 1/12/24. I was given a room on the second floor immediate by the stirs case. The room had a very strong bad odor . Contacted the manager and i was moved to Super 8 next door room 201. Upon entering i liked the room and it looked clean but i couldn’t fall asleep as the room was too hot and the AC was broken . During the struggle , i found a bed bug on the bed. Went to the office and i was moved to room 108 at 1:30 a.m. finally I was able to rest for the night after a long struggle. The Staff at the place were attentive and helpful. The sheets , chairs, and bed were dirty . It was hard to sleep in a felty environment. I should get a refund for 7/12/24 as I didn’t receive a proper place to rest . I have pictures to provide upon request forbed bug and felty bed sheets.

I went to the office and was directed to another hotel next door to check in. When I got there, there was no staff in the office. I rang the bell and called both hotels and no one answered at either. I waited for more than 5minutes for someone to come and help me. The room was fine for the price. The bed is uncomfortable and the floors were dirty.

Place is filthy, I have no clue how it has 7 stars on Expedia. Booked it last second as a cheap but well reviewed motel through Expedia. Was in a bad part of town but didn’t think much of it. Checked in and was horrified by the room. Dried blood, brown and yellow streaks of who knows what all over the comforter, pillows and sheets. Hair and dust on the beds, floors, countertops. Nonsmoking room reeked like a chain-smoker lived there. Tub and toilet were stained by more than just hard-water. Took a look around the room and my girlfriend and I left. The cherry on top is they refused to give us a refund and Expedia offered me $25 as a “sorry”. Will never book through them again, 7 stars for this place are you kidding me? Took a lot of photos of the room before we left as proof.

For starters, the room was disgusting when I checked in. The tv didn’t work, the phone didn’t work to call for help with the tv and everything was filthy. That was fine, I finally had three days to just rest and re cooperate. But one the second morning, I was visited by three different members of staff all before 11am. The “do not disturb” sign had been taken the day before. The first was a cleaning lady who I declined because all I’m doing is laying in bed. The second was a gentleman rudely telling me that I needed to check out by 11. I had already paid for that night and had everything set up with the front desk prior to this gentleman coming in. Then the third person was another cleaning lady. I told her I didn’t need it, she basically accused me of being homeless and said something about not wanting this hotel to be like motel 6. She then looked inside the room, said everything was fine and left. I’ll never stay here again.

First thing the check in was next door in different property was at super 8 and take me almost 30 minutes or maybe more for check in I never have this kind of time for check in in all my life and they try to make me pay more since I already paid at Expedia was so much of bad experience I have and it was already late at night and I have my family and they keep saying that they can not find me on the system was so horrible I can’t believe they make it that hard and also they say that they need to check me in next door because the workers having vacation I just want know what kind off service it’s that unbelievable

Everything was great except: 1) The freezer section of the refigerator as heavily iced over, could not but ice packs into the compartment, needs to be defrosted 2) The toilet cannot handle a big #2 dump. It easily clogged, and there is no plunger in the room. Need higher performing toilets. 3) There was lumps of red jelly (or something) on top of one of the bed end tables. 4) No electrical plug at the desk area, had to plug in laptop charger behind the dresser. 5) Breakfast is advertised as including "fruit", but there were no bananas, apples, etc. Only whole oranges. END

The room was not very clean at all. The floors were filthy, the bath mat should have been thrown away three years ago(mold growing on it). If you are looking for a cheap place to stay and not very clean, this is it.
