This property should NOT even be an Expedia option. Remove it. The pictures are all false. There is no safety. It's a damn sex traffic hotel. How has NO ONE investigated?! I've called authorities. Expedia should be embarrassed. I'm expecting my money back, or i will sue. We took pictures of everything. Take this place iff as an option. Now!!!

Disgusting
This place is absolutely disgusting. I’m so sad we had to stay here. There was no cold water, only hot. Burn holes in the bedding, bugs on the floor. And when we walked in the room, it looks like somebody had already been laying in the bed. It was so incredibly discussing. It doesn’t look anything like the pictures online I have never stayed in such a disgusting motel. I couldn’t wait to leave.
