I had made reservations for Thursday and Friday but had to leave urgently on Friday morning I didn't even have time to let the front desk clerk know about my check out . Breakfast was very unsatisfactory there was not but 3 biscuits in warmer the gravy was pretty much gone and what was left was dry the pancake machine was something to look at because all a guest had to do was wave and watch ur pancake be made but after waving and waving at it nothing came out , there was no one in kitchen to let know. I had to go to the front desk and let him know that there was no batter to make pancakes. He was very kind and fixed it but still only 3 Minnie pancakes where made then again same problem no more mix. I decided to just have a pkg of oatmeal and went about my morning. I didn't get to enjoy my lil vacation like I planned because I so urgently had to get bk home to Odessa. I checked in late Thursday evening and left early Friday morning, lost my money on the room that I didn't even stay the 2 nites. Hopefully I'll get to try my vacation again next month.

I cannot believe anyone has left reviews saying this place was excellent with cleanliness because as soon as we stepped in the room there was dead cockroach on the floor and a live one on the ceiling. And the room smelled like someone had just smoked a pack of cigarettes before we walked in. Also the surrounding area and parking lot was so sketch. We left immediately and got a room up the road somewhere else. Would not recommend at all

The property and room were clean. The decor was dated, but the staff kept everything very clean. We booked two rooms for a family of 5. One room smelled of smoke, but the other did not. Breakfast was the best I've ever had at an inexpensive motel. The staff was very friendly and even kept a stuffed toy my daughter had left in the room. I was able to retrieve it on our way back through town later.

Arrived just after a major rain storm. The water on the floor in the room apparently blew in through the crack between the door and the frame. Can see daylight through the gap. Bed wasn’t very comfortable. Shower was decent. Lots of adult men just hanging around on stairwells and balconies all day long.

FLIES GALORE

Flies were noticeable in windows inside. Upon going in 30-40 more flies. Bathroom door stuck. Moved rooms. Still flies, door ok. Breakfast was horrific. Everything sticky. Putty pancakes. Eggs? Schools do better. Btw.. blueberries... ( allergies) ..... Couldn't literally touch anything. Disgusting. Go if desperate.

It seemed as if there may be workers staying there on an extended stay. They were very loud and drinking. They did quiet down around 9 both nights but were up very early leaving for work. This made it very hard to rest. The hotel could use some upgrades and our room had a drip trim the room above in the bathroom. Staff was fine but I doubt I would stay there again.

Terrible stay.

The room was completely nasty, someone went in with a paint brush and painted everything in sight. The chrome racks was covered in rust and dust that’s been there for years. The bed was like a cardboard box. The guy next to me has been living there for a long time, he was smoking weed which in return made my room smell like it. I paid for 2 nights but only stayed 1. Total waste of $200.
