Nice staff

The front staff was very nice. Every person that worked at the front was nice… especially the manager room was like 1/2 the size of the photo…. Would have been nice if they would of come clean the room or at least take out the thrash… when I told them I put my thrash cans buy the door, they told me I can do it myself but they would do it..but they didn’t do it…

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place is dirty and sketchy, but the reason we would NEVER stay again is the horrific service. No one is in the lobby, it is locked, and there is no sign or call button. If you need anything, you will need to wait indefinitely. When I tried to locate the management, I was accused of harassment and they tried to kick us out of the hotel, with 2 children, at night. I called the police and they spoke to the management to allow us to stay. But absolutely never again. Worst hotel I've ever stayed at.

Almost got double charged during my stay with family during check-in. There was drug addicts walking around the motel and there was roaches in the room. I recommend paying a few dollar more for a better place to stay.
