I never leave negative reviews, but this time it's necessary. The place looked sketchy from the outside. First problem was the motel saying they didn't have a reservation for us even though it was paid for and had confirmed hours earlier. That was a big ordeal that barely got resolved. Next, there was no breakfast even though it was listed. When we got to our room and opened the door, the smell was so bad you could barely breathe. We decided to tough it out because of all the isses we had already had and it was late. But the worst thing was that the bed sheets were dirty! There were black grease stains and hairs, possibly dog, in the made up bed. I have stayed in plent of "cheap" motels and I have never experienced anything like this!

The room was less than desirable Dim light (1/2 of lamps had no bulb. Refrigerator had a bowl of some type of meat stuck way in the back. No hotel phone (you had to go back to desk to copy the regular phone number. the bed closest to the window had several long black hair in between bottom sheet and top sheet --we spray lysol and slept on top of comforter. no local changes on TV. usually there are 2 trash cans 1 in room and 1 in bath -this only had 1. They most be in the middle reinvading the room numbers were on sticky note taped beside the door. Second day we age for additional towels we had to turn the old ones and then they told us didn't have any cleaned to give us. The sweet receptionist gave us clean but her colorful towels. The security lock to the hotel didnt work the first night but was working when we left
