couldn't even check in, owner decided to try and charge me a $50 deposit because he didn't like the fact that I had already paid and got the room for $61 when he was trying to charge me $120 cash up front when I informed him that I have already paid on hotels.com and he saw how much I paid then he decided to put on a $50 deposit which he has never done ever and I stayed there multiple times. when I told him no I don't have any more money I couldn't do that he's never done that to me before he turned around and walked away wouldn't even take hotels.com's customer service calls trying to resolve the issue. about 5 minutes after that I proceeded to watch him check in another customer that had paid on a hotel site already as I did and paid a low price like that and did not try and charge him a $50 deposit at all. the deposit wasn't an issue if it was listed on it I would not have chose that room or that hotel but I've stayed there many times and I know there's not a deposit. my issue was that he decided to charge me a deposit after he realized th

Simple budget motel

A quick last minute booking for a quick sleep and shower. Easy check in at 11 pm. Simple bed, bathroom, fridge, microwave and soap only. No shampoo. Bed was ok but pillow was hard as rock. Location was ok. My truck was full of camping stuff in the back and it was still there in the morning so that was a plus.

No Star Motel

Upon opening the door there was a overpowering dank, musty smell. The chair by the desk was very dirty, the pillows were faded yellowish white, not very clean looking. The bathroom grout on the floor and shower was very dirty. We did not stay and are unable to get refund because it stated no refunds.
