Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The motel should be delisted from Expedia. The condition of the motel feels like haunted. Spider webs were every where-along the hallways and stairs. The room supposed to be non-smoking but had heavy smoking smell. The bed sheet was not changed from last use, hairs and dirty spots were found on the bed sheet; the door has a quite big gap between the door frame; the AC unit works sometimes.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We drove 12 hours that day and just needed a place to sleep to keep on driving the next day. The people next door were so loud, talking and screaming and singing with friends that even with ear plugs I could not sleep. Around 1am we tried to ask for the hotel's help but no one helped us. We even tried to talk to the loud people, nothing worked. Again, we just needed to sleep. We left around 3am and found another place to spend the night. Worse experience ever.

Just wasn’t up to expectations. It was dirty and didn’t have any amenities. Not worth the price. On the good side the front desk lady was great!

After getting the room, I have to ask for towels and remote batteries. The noise from the street was unbearable. There was no amenities like coffee in the room, closet, chairs. There were people fighting in the hallway. For $200 a night, I would have rather stay at Motel 6!!
