DO NOT BOOK! This hotel is worse than a prison cell. It's criminal for the price they charged! There were stains on the walls, the tub had mysterious black speckles, the shower curtains has what looks like old blood stains on it. the toilet paper rolls was not hanged and sits on top on a nasty toilet with the paper itself stained with different colors dots on the side. Looks like someone was using it to clean their needles! The walls has black tapes all over and even the doors has scuffed marks with black tapes all over too. I got in at 2am and I could not stay and left immediately. Slept and brush my teeth next to my car. It was supposed to be a decent 1 night stop before we get to our actual vacation destination. It was a horror nightmare for me. You can't pay me to stay here!

Booked room. Called the motel right after to confirm I was in their system, the guy said yes and repeated my name. The next day at check in time he stated I wasn't in the system and that if I wanted to stay they would have to charge me double the price I originally selected. Guys are con artist, praying on people that don't deserve to be treated that way. Their was a very elderly couple that had traveled from riverside and had the same problem I did. It was very sad to see them not be able to get the room they booked because they couldn't afford the last second price raise When I arrived there was also a long line everyone had the same issue and they did not honor their prices on Expedia. About 7 people left very angry because they raised the prices on the day of check in. 3 people decided to sleep in the lobby with all their belongings

Checked in , tv and cable didn’t work and I had to plug everything in. Shower did not have any handle and was completely unable to work. smoke detector, door peephole, any and every device for safety features or etc were covered in tape and toilet tissue roll covers and no one bothered to uncover them when cleaning if even cleaned. Large fresh stain on top blanket and top sheet right under it which wasn’t changed yuck. Huge gap in door letting in draft from cold night time air. And no one at front desk to help by the time I was able to go address concerns so had to just deal with it. Mind you I have a 1 year old…. Completely unacceptable
