Was giving a room that was not made up, roaches EVERYWHERE. No tv, microwave, or fridge available spite listing these things on line. Lights keep going off every 5 min. The smell was so bad i ordered lysol spray, febreeze and it still over powered them. I guess its true what they say, "you get what you paid fir" in this case you dont even get that, either way its a NO for me.

Got to the property and immediately felt unsafe. Front desk guy didn’t show up for ten minutes . After I got to my room it was unclean , had weird noises going on, and an odd smell. Very much a one star hotel with guests that made me feel unsafe . Left immediately and didn’t get a refund

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property is dirty and broken. When K arrived, I was given a room that smelled like cigarettes when I specifically asked for a non-smoking room in my reservation. I let it slide but what I found was that the bathroom did not have a lightbulb and had to be replaced. One of the hotel staff said they were going to send a maintenance guy but never did. The heater doesn’t work so there were sleepless and freezing nights. The bathroom sink was leaking water as I tried watching my hands. But the worst part was that there were no new towels left to use. The towels in the restroom were from the last person who stayed in the room. And housekeeping never came to clean the room. Overall, this property is broken and I would avoid staying here.

That was nothing that I liked none of the rooms was clean. The shower head didn't work. No water in toilet to flush after you used it. But the manager turned it off. Two of the rooms didn't have any heat. I asked for a refund and the manager wouldn't give it to me. Im very angry about the stay there. It's the most disgusting very dirty unclear germ bacteria place that I had stayed in

While I understood the location would be a bit inconvenient and was willing to accept this due to how affordable rate(which was incredibly affordable). However the electricity was out when I came to the motel, there was a puddle in the bathroom near the shower, the room smelled of cigarette smoke, the chair was broken, The TV didn't work and the toilet did not flush well.

Would not recommend

First room had nothing it more than the bed. The heater didn’t work, there was no furniture or tv, no lamps, nothing and smelled like smoke. Curtain was hanging off the track. I demanded a different room. Second room was better, but still awful, saw a mouse run by me at one point. Smelled like marijuana, ashes still present in room. Slept fully clothed with the mini fridge and microwave in front of the door in case someone decided to break in, door wasn’t flush with door frame. Last minute cheap option because of weather equaled 2 hours of sleep. Flippin terrible, but the receptionist was shady but nice. 0 out of 10 would not recommend.
