Common issues include roaches or other bugs, dirty linens and floors, odors, and maintenance problems like broken locks, appliances, or plumbing.

Motel was in very poor condition. Rusted handrails, crumbling concrete, paint peeling and broken fixtures in the room. There were abandoned cars with no license plates in the driveway. I left and didn't stay.

The area was unsafe with people standing outside their rooms talking, and smoking right in front of our door. The room was filthy with what looked like fieces on the wall. The bed spread was dirty with burn holes in it (non smoking room). I could not stay in that place let alone my wife staying.

It was terrible. I'm surprised Hotels.com would represent such a filthy and dangerous place. My friend and I each got a room. The front of the hotel seemed to be clean but they put use in the back. It was full of scary people partying on the balcony and using drugs. You could smell it immediately. The room was filthy. Old nasty furniture, bugs in the fridge, water on the floor in the bathroom, broken microwave and the list go on. We waited about 45 minutes when we decided to leave. When we asked for our money back they said since we didn't come back within 15 minutes we couldn't get a refund and we paid for 2 nights.

Do not recommend staying here. Seems to be primarily used as half-way house. We used it only because gosplitty left us stranded as last minute and nothing resonable was left. Our expectations were low but reality was lower. Dirty room and facility.

First hint was that the Uber driver didn't want to drop me off. Tried it anyway. Was watched as I went to my room. Door lock was broken, big big window with barely a curtain was the least thing that made me feel unsafe. Food pieces in fridge, dirty looking sheets, toilet and shower. tires and trash in parking lot, located at the dead end of a street with nothing close, def nothing to walk to, and Uber wont pick up after dark, left ASAP, checked out within 20 mins and no refund for 3 night stay, really??? I am normally NEVER placing reviews but this? I even held off incase I could state they at least gave me a f*ing penny back for not staying there at all (3 nights). Buyer beware.
