The amount of times the people working there threatened us with a smoking fee was ridiculous. It started before we even arrived and continued multiple times at check-in. We are non-smokers anyway, so there was absolutely zero chance of us smoking in the room. Despite telling them this multiple times, they threatened to charge us if there was even a little smell of smoke. Besides this, there were a few bugs we found in the bathroom which was not that big of a deal. They had no shampoo and one small bar of soap so a shower was not very convenient. All in, I would not recommend this place to anyone.

This was the most disgusting "motel" I've even seen or stayed in. They told me multiple times no smoking or there was a $200 cleaning fee. I totally get that, but the room smelled of stale smoke. The sheets were not clean. I could go on and on but i will leave you with this..... it was so disgusting I actually looked for bed bugs! Do not recommend!
