It's the worst place I've ever been to, I asked for my money back because I booked 4 nights. and I could only stay one night, it's a place where undesirable people go, to have sex with three or four people, the worst night of my life

The sheets had burn holes most likely due to smoking, floor had a puddle of water for some reason, arrived and they couldn’t find our booking and kept insisting we did something wrong. The worker at the desk was rude. The area seemed unsafe and overall kinda ghetto.

Rooms had only one bed, a large TV, and multiple mirrors. Not a place to actually sleep in. Car doors were banging all night. People were yelling and loud music was playing on and off all night. We had scheduled a 2 night stay but left after one night. I got zero sleep and we felt unsafe being there.

Not Good

Seeing the pictures on hotel.com I thought it looked nice, especially for the price. When I got to the motel, there was a hole in the bathroom ceiling, the lighting was awful, and the floor felt a little gritty. The door to the room was not sturdy at all and felt like it would break when I checked to make sure it was locked. And because of the hole in the ceiling I could hear everything above me as if I was in the same room. The staff was pleasant enough and the hand painted mural on the wall was nice. Overall, do not recommend.

I cannot recommend to stay at this motel! The rooms of the motel are nothing like the rooms that they advertise on Expedia and on their website, they are a lot smaller, have less furniture are dirty as hell and smell like cigarettes. I wore white soxs in the room and they were dark brown after a couple of steps. Not to mention the last day, when I took a shower and a worm crawled out of grout in the shower cabin. I do not expect much from my accommodation, when I pay a few bucks, but cleanliness is a minimum standard everyone can fit!

There wasn’t anything I liked. The pictures online were fabulous. In person it was worse than you could ever imagine. Ended up turning the key in and leaving. They refuse to refund which isn’t surprising at all considering the looks of the establishment. This place was an absolute hell hole.
