Room was dirty. We just wanted a place that was clean to be able to sleep and shower. There was crud on the floor of the shower, the sheets were gross, the toilet paper roll was broken, the drain in the sink was clogged, there were cigarette holes in one of the blankets, and the thermostat couldn't be adjusted. We ended up buying a fan and new sheets to get through one of the two nights we booked. We decided to go back home early rather stay the second night.

None smoking room smelled heavily smoked. A lot Cigarette holes on the covered sheets. Stains on all pillows, blankets and bedsheets. Bathtub had very huge gross stains on it. We didn’t dare to take a shower even we had a flip flop on. A left over cup in the fridge. I wonder if bedsheets and blankets ever washed. And the room gives you free pet Kroaches.

In general, it was very rundown. The front of one of the drawers in the room was not there. There were tiny flies in the sink. The smoke/fire detector was hanging by its wires from the ceiling with no battery. In general, the total disarray made me very uncomfortable.

Smokey Room with Cigarette Stains on Linens

If you are looking for a cheap hotel and you don't care about the smell of cigarettes, this one is for you. The room is dated, makeshift and the bed is not on a frame. The linens had cigarette burn stains on them. It is more like a smoky camping experience than a hotel stay.

Came back from a long day. Around 9pm. Use the microwave, then all the power went out. Went to front desk and told them about the power outage in my room. They said there's nothing they can do about it. Ate in The dark with my phone light.

Ewww

The room was never cleaned. No toilet paper, empty soap, and used bed. Smelled awful. Crackhead motel. You get what you pay for, I paid $55 so I can’t really complain, but if it were for homeless people, then I’m sure they would be happy. A drug addict would be happy. Maybe somebody going there for 10 minutes of sex would be happy. If you’re looking to stay the night and be comfortable and the slightest bit sanitary, no. Definitely don’t bring a child either the whole hallway was filled with smoke from cigarettes. Not to mention the picture I put here of how much of a fire hazard the place is. I couldn’t believe I was looking at this. Unfortunately, that’s the only picture I took. I took a nap after asking to get a clean blanket and sheet for myself which also was covered in something crunchy and dried up. Traffic is very loud. I can’t see this being good for anybody other than a person that just needs to stay warm.

We saw the bad reviews. We laughed in the face of danger. We booked the room anyway. That was our first mistake. From the moment we stepped inside, disappointment hit us like the smell of stale carpet. The smoke detector dangled from the ceiling like it had given up on life. A chair cushion sported a gaping hole, proudly displaying its stuffing like a bad taxidermy project. The bed linens? A patchwork of holes that could have passed for modern art. After a long day of traveling, we thought a hot shower might wash away our regrets. Turns out, we only had one towel to share. When I went to the front desk to request another, I was met with a firm no—apparently, towels were a rare and valuable resource. But nothing—not the broken furniture, not the towel shortage—could have prepared us for what came after the lights went out. That’s when they appeared. The bugs. So many bugs. When I turned the light back on, at least 30 of them sprinted away from the sink like they were late for a meeting. They were on the tables, the floor, and, most disturbingly, in the bed. We were supposed to stay for three nights. We barely lasted three hours. Do yourself a favor—sleep in your car, pitch a tent, or just embrace insomnia. Anything is better than staying here.
