    Not far from the expressway and fairly cheap compared to others in the area Very seedy, tired and old facilities. Curtain falling off the rails, holes in the bedspreads, horrible pillows, oldest & cheapest towels I have ever seen in a hotel. It’s a tired building on its very last legs.

    I was firm on a refund. They did refund us finally after a 10 minute conversation in which they speak so little English they finally understood why we were asking for a refund. We kept telling him it smelled like pot and smoke he still didn't understand us. While I have no issues with people who speak English as a 2nd language this was beyond not understanding what was going on. If you stay here and don't come out alive, I warned you.

    Dated and dirty! Outlets hanging from the walls, phone didn't work, bathroom sink wouldn't drain. Not a bad area at all thankfully. Only 2 other rooms being rented on our side bit different cars were in and out all night from one of the other rooms....drugs or a hooker is the only thing that adds up. It's cheap though if you just need a place to crash!

Towels were used and refolded not washed as dirty and shower the water filled up tub so fast it was the worst experience you could expect for that price I could have gotten a place for same or few dollars more. The wifi is so bad it disconnected so many times I had to turn off on my phone. You all need to remove this place from your site it's really awful.

    If i could give this place a negative rating i would. Lipstick in a pig is an understatement. It stinks like indian food throughout. The health dept and building dept should shut this place down. This is a premier example of indian people trying to make money on a complete crap hole. It isnt worth $80. It isnt worth $50/night. It's absolutely horrific. This place is a health and safety hazard. The roll a car along the sidewalk in front of your room staring around 8 am making all kinds of noise. An old angry indian guy is rude to everyone and shouts at the workers. Cheap and corrupt. This place is nothing more than a half polished turd. They should pay people to stay here.

    My partner and I chose this motel because we were performing in town and needed to be able to easily bring our instruments in our rooms. Parking outside our room made it easy to look after the sound equipment. However, it was so bad we could not stay. We had to leave and get another hotel room. Between the seriously overwhelming smell of mold and the filthy room, atleast 8 burn holes in the blankets, rusty moldy non working refrigerator and microwave. Really really bad. I warn you. I am not being too harsh or critical. I did not expect much for the price but this should be shut down! The health department should be notified.

    Avoid at all costs!! This was the most disgusting "hotel" room I have ever seen. They curtains were literally disintegrating. The floor was filthy with dirt and bugs. The door to the room didn't seal at all so it was drafty and extremely noisy. No surprise that the room stunk of mildew as well. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money and stay literally anywhere else. What ever they charge at this "hotel" is far too much.

    The sheets had black stains all over them, along with the black marks on the towels. The bed comforter had a huge rip in it. The a/c unit & outlets had to be from the 50’s. They cut the light switch panel to fit between the door & window. Several missing curtain clips to hold the curtain up. When the bathroom fan was on there was a horrible smell. 1 time the bathroom light worked, the next it didn’t. Bathroom door wouldn’t close, paint chipping on the inside door. I think the only thing new in that room was the floor. Have several photos.

    We walked in & the room smells absolutely foul, the bed skirt is black from who knows what, the doors, walls everything just looks gross & dirty, thankfully the sheets looked clean so we did stay but slept in as most clothes as we could. The next morning we wanted to shower & the towels are black, nasty & looks like they have never been cleaned. Thankfully we had our own towels. The tub does not drain, the sink does not drain, it’s honestly the worst place I’ve ever stayed in. As well, when we got there to check in the front desk was requesting $10 for the room key in cash after we had already paid for the room. He then was requesting to take our ID in place of $10. Would love to have had a refund. Not worth the money we spent on it.

    But when we got to our room, we were surprised to see how filthy it was. The room was 80 degrees and the air conditioner didn't work at first. The front desk got it to work and also gave us a fan.The light in the shower and toilet area didn't work. There was a old camper parked in the parking lot with half a dozen cats or more in. A generator was running. My husband asked the gentleman if the generator was going to run all night, he said no he was turning it off soon. He needed to cool the camper down because his cats were over heated. He and his wife lived in a room. We did make the best of our stay. Thankful for clean bedding, halfway decent bed, and a hot shower in the dark. The gentleman with the generator did turn it off at 10, but had it running at 9 in the morning, again.

I will never ever stay in such a place again. Once I arrive there I thought I was at the wrong hotel. I cancel the reservation and went else where to found out every thing was booked in the area. I had to go back to the Toll way Inn and had to pay again since I had cancel the reservations due to the conditions of the hotel.

    When I pulled into the property, the lot was horribly maintained. Seemed like a place I could get for no more than $40 anywhere else, not near the equivalent of a nicer known property in the area. When I walked in the door, it reeked of smoke and who know what else, dust, urine..? I'm not sure, it was nasty. I feared for the quality of the room. The whole area felt disgusting. And I didn't get a good feeling when they demanded more cash than what was expected! I expected an easier friendlier check in! I told them to cancel running my card. I didn't want to stay there. I didn't feel comfortable there. They told me to contact Expedia for the refund and to cancel. The Expedia assistant was hardly better. He tried to tell me it wasn't refundable before he was even concerned as to the "why". He asked multiple times, right after asking questions, if we were "still connected", I hardly even had time to type to answer him! I felt rushed in trying to get help. This was a horrible experience all around, and I'm disappointed in both Expedia and this trashy motel.

    Liked the size of the room, liked that the toilet had a cover you could close but toilet space was too narrow for a really big dude. Ceilings were slightly low, but not uncomfortably low ( :) - so be careful when mindlessly taking off a shirt above your head) but we are tall people. The room was spotlessly clean. When I walked into the bathroom, I noticed that the towels looked “dindgy”, but when I checked them by smelling them, they were perfect and smelled clean. Would definitely stop here again.

    People who run this place and very nice and accommodating. But this is a motel. It is very old. Very out dated. Not very clean. No water pressure. Seriously, just a trickle. Shower was impossible and brushing teeth was difficult. We were buzzing through town and picked up an extra person we weren’t expecting and it was the only hotel available close to where we were staying that we could use. This is a safe place and has a bed, so if it is a quick run through town on your way to a destination you will be fine.
