The rooms were very dingy and felt unclean. The bed mattresses were in such bad condition that I could not sleep whole night and the highway noise was so high that I finally checked out the next day. The towels were like rags and property is very dilapidated and felt unsafe though the front desk staff were very nice and helpful. This should be dubbed as a very low budget hotel

The room was utterly deplorable. Snot on the wall, sticky floor, filthy towels with hair & water only dribbled out of the shower head. Returned the key immediately & left. Asked for a full refund…. Not confident they will do the right thing and give a refund. Found 1000% better lodging for not much more $

This motel was absolutely awful. Crack heads banging around outside all night. It was filty and run down to the point the whole place should be bulldosed. The only positive is that I didn't get bit by bedbugs.

This place is a dump not worth 35.00 per nite. Beds are old rooms dated and no necessarily as clean as one would expect from a hotel.

DO NOT STAY HERE.

The room was nothing short of grim. It looked like a bomb shelter, minus the charm. The mattress was thin, noisy, and slanted up in the middle by a giant spring. Next to the bed was a lamp with no bulb. The door was very flimsy and only had one small lock. I didn't know towels that bad even existed. There were no amenities other than the world's smallest bar of soap, and very dried up packets of shampoo/lotion. The "tv" was a small computer monitor in the middle of a huge wall. The owner tried to collect a $5 cash deposit "for the key," which seemed like a sick joke, given the state of things. This was not worth anything close to the $80 we paid.

Liked: Cleanliness

This motel is very economical and as a result bare bones with respect to amenities. It was clean and functional has not been refurbished in decades. Our nonsmoking room was filled with smoke so we had to get another. It took me many phone calls/emails to get my money back for 2 unused nights after we checked out (to there credit, we did get our money back in full).

This property had an AC issue. Apparently for weeks they were not booking reservations. But they failed to notify me prior to my check in. Expedia, was not very helpful either. They let me know I would not have to pay for the room I didn’t get!

Make it a parking lot!

Motel was great in 1968, hasn’t been maintained. Curtains were pieces of shower curtains. No tissues provided, mold in the shower, only chair was a restaurant style, dresser drawer was broken, stains on tile floor, closet shelf was stained and dirty. For the price, I was robbed.
