Awful location next to highway. Bad area. Although rooms look decent online you get exactly what you pay form. Room was awful.

Worst Motel Ever

This is the worst motel I have ever stayed at. We thankfully only booked it for one night because we booked the wrong dates for our actual hotel that we originally booked. It was dirty, the outlets didn't work, we didn't even want to shower in the bathroom because it was so gross, and the place could have been painted and patched better by a third grader! Never seen anything like it. The walls were so thin I could hear everyone talking in their rooms and outside as well!

The staff was quite friendly checking in and out. Gave me some nice ideas on places to go/things to do. The room itself was a bit daunting. Needs updates and better up keep for sure. My room never got serviced the 4 days I was there. This was a last minute trip...was grateful to get a room but I wouldn't return.

Decent

It was decent. There was hair in the bathtub so that freaked me out a bit. Probably wouldn't stay here again but it's good if you just need somewhere to crash for a night for a cheap price.
