Building and rooms are not kept up and looks like a drug house. Garbage all over outside the parking lot and sketchy looking vehicles of people hanging around. Not feeling safe at all. Definitely a place if I didn’t have a handgun and wasn’t a big male, I would not stay here.

The front desk person was rude, not friendly at all and could barely speak English. Went to my room which wasn't clean, shower was gross, the towels were nasty, Every part of the room, hotel and hallways look like it was taped together but could fall apart at any moment and just over all nasty, dirty; you name it, nothing good. The "Security Door" wasn't secure at all and anyone could open it. Other guess look shady and that they use this as their long term rentals. You could smell pot all over and like this was used as a drug house for transactions. It was located next to a truck stop and the conditions in the area did not look safe at all especially for a lady alone. I was only there for a few minutes and had to leave and stay somewhere else. The front desk person fell asleep in a room behind the desk in that short period of time and couldn't wake up when I checked out, so I couldn't even ask for a refund if that was possible. This hotel should not be on any website to rent out in the current condition. The pictures were very deceiving and no person in their right mind should be staying in an unsafe area or hotel. I have nothing positive to say about this place.

The bad attitude of the staff. The TV. did not work. They would not give you any towels until morning. There were spiders in the shower. The comforter on the bed was as thin as the sheet below it. You could hear everybody else in the hotel above you and around you. And it also smelled like weed!

The motel needs more upkeep. Some areas are lacking. Furniture needs replacement. A refrigerator and microwave should be in the rooms, not downstairs and unkept. Quiet enough most of the time. Burns in bed covers that need to be changed out. VERY BASIC! At any price.

Horrible

Horrible. Smells like stale cigarette smoke. Bathroom door looks like a dog tried to tear it off. Bed had bedbugs. Linen was stained. I was in the room for five minutes and left. I tired to complain to the front desk but waited around for almost 15 minutes and no service. Complete hell hole.
