I actually did NOT stay here. I ended up leaving that same evening. Something didn’t sit right. The room was filthy (water from sink was light brown, beds had stains on sheets, quilts on top had tears/burn holes, bathroom door does not close for privacy, ground was covered in dirt, found a piece of sharp metal on floor that could have cut your foot open, whole property looked like it was being personally renovated, drove around back for parking and it looked like I made a wrong turn somewhere & wasn’t welcome just by the looks of the people who jumped out of their car and stared me down.) I have tried to call hotel for my money back, emailed 3 times, wrote through hotels.com messages and still nothing. I have a blind dog (they were aware about) and they put me on the second floor (only stairs-no elevator) and I almost fell bringing him down when I left. Too many people coming and going at night too. Pictures online NOT the same as the actual property. False advertisement.

It was not a suite. And people were living in the MOTEL. And it smelt like weed.

Trash piled up everywhere outside. The area and outside of the hotel and the area were sketchy. The bed wasn’t comfortable.
