    Easy process, good prices, friendly staff. Just a trashy, junk hotel. Make sure you park where you can see your car b/c there are questionable people walking around the parking lot at all hours of the night

    Expedia needs to stop asking me for reviews. I deleted several emails about this because I only give reviews if I have a reason. This hotel closed in July 2025. Stop asking me for a review

    My bathroom had the small variety of cockroaches, and the door was in shambles. I highly recommend paying a little more per night and staying somewhere else.

    Room was absolutely filthy. Even the non smoking rooms reaked of cigs. White stains on the sheets, dirty sock and hair in the bathroom and the fridge didn’t work. Would have rather stayed in my car.

    2. Rooms - sheets were dirty and stained. The carpet had huge noticable stains and needed many sweeping as it had alot of particles on it. Not to mention - i found glass on my bed and holes in my sheet. 3. The other tenants in the building looked sketchy. I was not 100% safe.

    Shabby, dirty, poorly lit room. There was a cash(!) deposit required for the room key. Wifi was "open" so completely insecure. Lobby restroom requires a key from the front desk. The bed spread was stained and the entire building was musty smelling. I left and found another place for the night.

    one wall behind beds did not have any power...so the lights over the bed, the refrigerator, and microwave did not work. Freeway noise continued all night, but a diesel pick up truck arrived at 2 am, and the engine kept running outside of the sliding glass doors to the rooms. When i went to check out, the person on duty would not get up from his desk to come and give me my dollar back for the room key.

    If I could leave 0 starts I would. This place was terrible. It smelled like cigarettes and my “non smoking” room had cigarette ashes in the bathroom. The room was so dirty! It was cheaper but I should have paid much less for that room. I was lucky I only stayed there for a few hours.

    The price on Expedia is well above the price listed at the motel. The non-smoking rooms had a smell of smoke. The first room we got the toilet water was not working. The second room did not have it's own thermostat for the the a/c.

    The room didn't look to bad at first. Then only 1 outlet in the room worked. Then about an hour after being there the roaches started coming Into our room. The house keeping stole things from our room and when we addressed it with the manger she just said the lady had worked there for 12 years so she would have to asked what happened then NEVER got back to us. The pool they advertise was down the entire time we were there. The carpet was so disgusting your feet/shoes would turn BLACK. The card to the room had to be reset every other day if we had the DND sign up and when house keeping would come in the room. There is only a microwave and mini fridge in the room.The only really good thing was the old cast iron tube that would stay hot/warm for about an hour or so 10 out of 10 would NOT recommend.
