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.

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!

Too much bad experiences at this motel to summarize it properly. My key card was deactivated every night which meant I had to go to the office to get it fixed. If I had gotten back to my room after the office closed I'd be locked out for the night. There are homeless people and drug dealers hanging around the parking lot, I was even approached by people in the lot asking if I had any meth to sell them.
The office gave someone else a key to my room and I was woken up one day to them trying to get in, if I hadn't had the deadbolt on they could have gotten in. That alone is an inexcusable invasion of my privacy.
The room was dirty. The walls were stained, trim pieces had been torn off around the sink and doors. The floor was sticky in some places and slippery in others. There was no blankets on the bed, just a thin sheet. The bed itself was uncomfortable. The TV didn't work and there was no furnishings in the room beyond the bed. No chairs or dressers or anything to unpack your bags onto, so the bed was always half taken by all my clothes since I refused to put them on the ground. There were bugs all over, especially in the bathroom.
There was not a single redeeming quality of this motel. I would pay money to not go there again.

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

To say that this was the worst places that I have ever stayed, would be an understatement. Please refer to the photos taken. There are major violations within this hotel. The shower had no shower doors or curtains, the toilet had a shoe string attached to flush it. The smoke detector had wires hanging out from inside of it. Thank God my fiancee is an electrical engineering! The refrigerator was sitting on the floor and there was no microwave as advertised. We were given dirty cut up white towels to use that could barely fit around us and the room stunk. This is not a kid/family friendly place and they play games with the wifi passwords. They purposely give you the wrong password. There is one housekeeper who I assume lives at the location, she was extremely nice and that's the only good thing that I have to say about this place.

Property was taken care from the outside needs repairs from the inside. Understanding that being a motel and that’s why is cheap. But wouldn’t mind paying 100-120 if being well taken care from the inside. Unfortunately for cheap prices it attracts guest that don’t take care of it. But that’s a motel. Thanks, I would still stay.

The room was filthy, The broken toilet lever was replaced with a plastic bag. There was no soap or shampoo. There were spider webs around the toilet bowl. The toilet paper holder was broken but fortunately there was a roll on the toilet tank. The floor was sticky. There was nobody to contact at 9 p.m. That pretty much sums it up.
