Scheduled to stay 4 nights & checked out after 1 due to unsafe conditions of property and other occupants. Room had drug paraphernalia, blood on the bed frame, broken and burned outlets, missing smoke alarm, damaged floor heating, broken door, floor, closet. Sketchy people coming and going at all hours of the night/early morning made it impossible to sleep. The front desk people I spoke with were nice and understanding when we showed pics of the filthy room and immediately checked us out for the duration of our scheduled stay. I would never stay here again and am actually upset with Travelocity for even listing this dump as an option for a place to stay since for me it questions the integrity of their brand standards to let such a scuzzy, potentially dangers place be available on their site.

Worst. Hotel. Ever. Worst one I've ever stayed at anyway. And I've stayed in guest houses in rural Asia. In short: all the pervious reviews are NOT an over-exaggeration. It was gave the impression of being just better than a drug den, yet not as good as a halfway house. Nothing like advertised, although when I asked about breakfast, they did point me to a six pack of Sam's Club muffins and a Thermos of coffee. I will say this: the front desk was very nice. However, maintenance did wake me up twice because they said they were checking on a smoke alarm that clearly wasn't going off. They were not so nice. The room, of course was dirty and run down. Burn marks on the table, ceiling fan was disgusting, fridge was busted up, etc. Will absolutely not stay here again.

I don’t ever write negative reviews, but this hotel was so disappointing, I felt I had to. There were people loitering by the door 24/7, there was no breakfast (free breakfast advertised) any of the 6 days we were there, floor had clearly not been swept before we got there, the room was never cleaned/trash never taken out all 6 days, road noise is terrible, sharpie writing on the walls of the room, there were people out in the common area microwaving, buying drinks, and talking until 2 or 3 in the morning, and the walls were paper thin and we could hear the room above us all night. I understand the need for cheap motels. I get it. This is clearly a motel that allows long term tenets who don’t have access to typical apartments. They don’t try and hide it. I was just really disappointed that the pictures on their website and all booking sites DID NOT MATCH THE ACTUAL ROOM AT ALL. I don’t mind that these motels exist, but if I had seen an accurate picture or a list of the real amenities, I would never have booked a room. It was just my spouse and I, so we stayed for our whole reservation, but if we had had our daughter with us, we would have left immediately. The real kicker was that one morning at around 7 a.m., a woman screamed so loud and so horrifically that we were afraid to leave the room and later checked the news to see if an attacked had happened. The moral of this story is, look for a different motel. Stay here only if you have to.
