The room was absolutely disgusting! There was food in the fridge from previous people, the TV remote was sticky and coated with who knows what, insects in the bathroom and there was a smear of stool on the toilet seat. Almost everything in the room was broken. Drawers without handles and were literally falling out of the dressers, holes in the walls and the toilet paper holder was partially gone so the paper was just sitting on the top of the toilet. The Wi-Fi didn’t work and the beds and pillows were hard. Also, there was someone going up and down banging on the doors of rooms early in the morning making sleep impossible. My sister and I felt like we were going to get a disease staying in that room. Stay away from this place!!

Overall, it was an OK stay for one night, small room, not a lot of accommodations. For $130 for one night is pushing it though. The room was fairly clean, but smelled heavily of cleaning materials. Owner also called me the day of my reservation and asked me to send my credit card over email which is not a good approach. Lots of homeless nearby as well.

For the amount of money that this motel cost, it was disappointing. There were no hangers or hair dryer until the office was contacted. There was no place to put suitcases except the floor. The soap was the size of a silver dollar. There was no "service needed/no service needed" tag for door. Had to have staff come to room to show how to use temperature control remote. Our room was in a section of the motel where all the workers were staying-so lots of trash, boots drying out, large trucks,etc. And the "Free Breakfast" consisted of the coffee in our room and a packaged sweet roll in the office. We would not stay here again.
