They demanded $100 cash to stay at the room and I didn't have it to give them. They didn't say nothing until after I booked it and then did not refund me. Also the front desk manager was rude and wouldn't refund me or put my card on hold in case of damages. Definitely never stay there again.

I was really disappointed with my stay here. The room had only two pillows per bed and no comforter—just a thin soft blanket. The TV remote didn’t work properly (you couldn’t move left or right, only change channels and volume), so using apps like Netflix was impossible. We asked the front desk for extra pillows and were told they didn’t have any. They also advertise breakfast, but there was none at all. On top of that, the bathroom door didn’t even close all the way. Overall, not worth the price. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Called to verify I can park trailer on-site was told yes. On arrival was told I can't park there…. I was already parked out of the way. I told them I wasn't walking to the motel. I was told I had to leave and they no longer had a room for me. I proceeded to go to my truck to find a new hotel. After 10 minutes the called the police! Officers were super helpful finding a place I could stay/ park…. informed me this motel has constant issues like this. 10/10 DO NOT STAY HERE
Not in anyone way and trailer was 15 ft smaller than my pickup

It was by far the worst hotel i’ve stayed in. Very dirty, smelt bad, pool closed, elevator was broke. stale food for breakfast, no creamer or milk for coffee. Halls smelt like urine and cigarettes. Didn’t sleep well at all, such a horrible waste of money.

The reviews are not kidding, the room had plenty of hair on the floor and some on the bed. The smoke alarm also went off 3 times within 24 hours of being there and when firefighters arrived they told my friend and I "something always happens here." I highly recommend staying elsewhere. I was charged the $50 fee in case any room damages happened on 9/8/25. My stay was until 9/12/25, and when I was not refunded (no damage was done to the room) I called on 9/16. They said to give it a few business days. I called yesterday, 10/8, and they had to go because of customers and did not call back like they said they would. The same thing happened when calling today, except he hung up while I was asking him to confirm he would call back. So this trip from a month ago is causing me to start a dispute with my credit card to get my money because they will not help me. This motel is not worth this hassle, stay literally anywhere else.

Very dirty...put in the wrong room when trying to get back to our room that evening there was somone else in it. Front staff very rude tried to make the mistake of the rooms my fault. Thank god i didnt leave my stuff in the room that they initially gave us because they gave the room to someone else. Said we could pay our deposit in cash and get it back.The next morning, thank god, I did not do that because when I went down the next morning there was a note that says leave your key card.
