You get what you pay for. A bit sketchy, definitely will see people who appear to have drug problems. No smoking room smelled like smoke and mildew, sheets had burn holes. But I gave 3 stars on a few areas because it wasn’t the worst room I’ve ever seen.

There was nothing we liked about this place. The room smelled really bad. There was a car air freshener hanging from the curtain, but it had lost that battle long ago. I went to ask for air freshener, but the guy behind the counter gave me his cologne instead. The floors were sticky, the bathroom was full of mold and the toilet moved from side to side when we used it. We were in the room for no more than 10 minutes. We absolutely could not stay there. I went to the desk to turn the keys back in and that's when he told me to contact booking.com for a refund. I left a 1.star Google review because of the conditions of the place. The man called me and asked me to change my review. Then he told me I would only get a refund for 1 night, not the 2 will paid for. Very bad experience

Nothing My client did not stay. He said, judging by the outward appearance of the hotel it look like a truckstop for prostitutes, and he was not going to stay there so he did not stay.

Honestly the people are very kind and sweet. However this property in need of a deep cleaning and overhaul. I feel bad for the owners seems they are overwhelmed but very kind. Appears to be people living here full time. The light in the bathroom did not work. The carpet floor felt wet for some reason. The chair was visibly molded and smelly. It looks like a science experiment in a Petri dish was dripped onto the chairs. A roach greeted us as well when we were going to change rooms because our door would not lock. We decided to go back to the unlocked room instead. This is the worst place I ever stayed in my life.

The guy who checked me in looked very unprofessional and asked me if I was staying there for “work” which offended me deeply. The room reeked of mold and I found later that there was mold growing on the mattress. The bed sheets were dirty and there were multiple stains on the couch in the room. There were also bugs attacking my legs as I sat in the room for no more than 15 minutes. I did not stay and couldn’t get my money back -would not recommend my worst enemy to stay here -10 out of 10.

Room needs a deep cleaning. Mold on wall under air conditioner, Moldy picture on wall. Beds were clean and comfortable. Bathroom tub area needed deep cleaning. Room had a musty smell the entire time. We arrived late so not a whole lot of time to really inspect this room till the next morning. I would say it’s a definite 2 on the scale of hotels.

I got the room for the night, they were very accommodating but come to find out when I got there they said they did not allow service animals but Expedia has it listed they do and so did some place else. Needless to say I wasn’t able to stay there. Really disappointing that these places do not cater to people with disablities like they should. My service animals are well behaved and I pick up after myself and my children. I would have booked longer but oh well I won’t again.

The reception person was sooo rude for no reason I came in and instantly he was he didn’t greet me at all snatched my id and then asked me how many ppl I replied 4 he had the audacity to say “next time you book my hotel don’t ever bring more than 2 people” I said it’s two babies and two adults. He didn’t care at all if it wouldn’t have been 1am I would have taken my family elsewhere but after 5 hours on the road I just wanted to get outta the vehicle so I stayed the room was not clean or looked anything like the pictures I booked a non smoking and my room reeked of smoke I asked for a different room he just walked outta the office I wish Hotels would filter these horrible places out .

I should have know better than to book a place that didn't offer outside photos. Pulled up and INSTANTLY regretted it. But I said let me just get to my room. I got there and it took me 5 mins to decide to get out. Old Man who appeared to be living there was sitting in plastic chair out by door. Dirty towels on banister outside. Place just looked gross. Opened door and my skin began to crawl. I walked to bathroom, the tub was black and stains on towels. The bed was a mess of a made. I instantly dropped my keycard on table, walked out to car and booked a different hotel. This place is so uneasy. I felt so unsafe and dirty. Wise I could get my money back.

We needed an in town last minute room that wasn’t crazy expensive it was literally to sleep so we weren’t looking for any amenities. I would stay there again the chain was broke. On the door it was dated but seemed clean enough. It’s definitely more of a truck stop places the man at the desk was super nice and for the price it was perfect!

Out stay was not so good. We cleaned the room up on arrival. Had to remove toilet lid to flush. Brought food that spilled in the fridge due to it being hot and never cooling after reporting first night. My daughter had surgery and was woke up by a couple fighting next door. The didn't vaccum the whole stay, the service. When asking for clean towels and wash cloths they still only brought 2 when it was 3 guest. Asked to refresh sheets and didn't receive. The best part of the room was the cable TV and a.c.

The place was filthy and run down. There were stains on every wall in the room, the bathroom light didn’t work and the tub was disgusting so we did not shower there. Initially they gave us a key to a room someone was already staying in. Something in the property bit my eye causing it to swell and they refused to give a refund. We checked out early and found somewhere else to stay. Do not recommend. Spend the extra money to be comfortable and safe.

Can't use the tub, no stopper. My phone (for no reason) goes off with the red bar down on the bottom flashing red yet there's no call coming in. So I had to unplug the phone for not even the manager fixed it. The seat next to my window is covered with mold. The sink next to the bathroom is literally cracked all over the place and the drain is broken. I thought the water would leak out. For the tv, every time you turn it on you have to go to the input on the remote and go to HDMI in order to watch TV (In really not even a tv person). The bedding, sheets, pillows, bathroom towels and was clothes are all filthy. When i dried off I had glitter bits all over my body from the towels. The washcloths and all the towels just hurts your skin and they are tiny and get like two of them. I'm a very small woman too and that's saying something. 5'2, 110lbs and very petite. The entertainment piece is dusty big time. I have a very poor sense of smell and i can actually smell the filth. These sheets has not even been washed. If you order a medium pizza, it doesn't fit in the mini fridge. It's very hard to charge your devices for the outlets are not good at all. I have anxieties and trains and you can hear every little thing and nothing is soundproof. I have pictures of galore too.

When we arrived we noticed the chain lock on our door was broken and didn't work. We stayed the night anyways since we had a long drive and the next morning we drove to the beach. Upon return, we found that our bags had been opened and multiple items had been stolen from them. The housekeeping crew had obviously come through and replaced a few dead lightbulbs and replaced our towels so we knew they'd been through our room. We went and asked the front office person if they would refund our second night since the locks were broken and then we had stuff stolen from our closed bags. They refused and said refunds are against there policy but apparently they stand behind that stealing from their customers doesn't matter to them. We left without any refund despite being booked and having paid for a second night.

It could have been a bit cleaner. You have to put a towel at the entrance door because there was a big gap for bugs to come in. No ice machine or vending. Towels and wash cloths were stained , bring your own . I guess I’ll give it an OK!

It was knats it my room. All days I stayed. Don’t know how. When I checked in the lobby was extremely hot. Waited like 15 mins after ringing the service bell. The room had like a smell when u entered but was okay after being in it. You can see stains on the mattress cover.

Lack of amenities

The property is alright if you absolutely do not have the money to afford a better hotel. The motel needs some serious upgrades. Sheets are somewhat stained and dirty looking. Bathrooms and showers need upgrades. The sink handles need to be attached and not moving when using. There was no ironing board. The tv would not allow the Roku to work on it. The internet was horrible. This motel needs some serious work done to it.
