Stay away

Working fridge

Very dirty, door frames look like they've been busted down a couple times. Not the best clientele that passes by. Floors are dirty, tv doesn't work. Toilets dont flush the whole way. Went out for the day and came back to our belongings gone and one of our blankets outside on the parking lot floor. When we went to ask, the owner told us it was because we needed to check out. Our stay was from Nov.8 - Nov.11. He wanted us to check out on the 10th. Because we were gone majority of the day and we asked for no room service.

Just okay

The place is mediocre

Ice machine broke down. They didn’t give me my usual room that I requested prior. The A/C is too noisey.

I rarely write reviews on stays, but this is the worst I've ever experienced so far.

Half the lights or electrical outlets didn't work, the TV was broken

More cleanliness, better rates.

The pictures don't do this place just...ic.... I was in a hurry and end up here. Never again

Very little to like about this place.... I guy checked us in quickly.

The room was dirty... dirty floors and walls. The one chair looked like it had been soiled; The AC worked ok but was super loud. The bathroom door didn't close at all as though it didn't fit the opening. All but one of the electrical outlet wouldn't hold the cube t charge the phone. All fixture were very old and rusted. the shower had no pressure and faucet and shower head were "do it yourself" repairs with mismatched equipment. There were zero hangers, no coffee set up and no clothes iron. The clerk there spoke very little English and clerk was reluctant to give me additional towels (2).

Not good.

No breakfast offered. Loud people on both side for both nights.

No breakfast offered. Not very clean, ie spider webs. Stayed two nights. They threw no shampoo bottles away after the first night when they cleaned the room, still had some in it to use for the next day. So I did not have any for my shower the next day.

4.0 / 10.0

I’ve paid the same or less for cleaner rooms.

I don’t think there was a breakfast. I didn’t notice one anyways. The beds were comfortable and the sheets were clean.

The first room had a covered smoke detector, a lamp with a severely damaged cord, bug parts in the bathroom, and greasy stains all over the couch and lamp. We changed rooms. The second room was marginally better, but had no smoke detector (we found it without batteries in a drawer), it also was not very clean aside from the bed and there was no in-room coffee maker.

Deceptive room photo

I liked that booking.com dropped my rate. the fee was certainly not worth it if you walked in off the street.

Dirt on the carpet, broken parts on the closet shell, old and peeling grout on the old and stained tub. The room was set up exactly as the photo, but looked 50 years older. The toilet seat was stained, and the TV remote was unusable. The staff didn't speak English well enough to understand how to tell me what was going on, or leave the room when I was tired of watching them try to reprogram the remote. The crack addicts at the end two units were fighting, and their guests pounded at my door at midnight. At 3:00 a.m. someone was kicking in the door downstairs. We packed and left.

Good place to sleep a night or two

Pools nice, private, easy and simple

Outdated , damages, cigarette smell in non smoking rooms

Someone Has To Say It!

The weekday prices. The location, the cleaning maids.

The price on the weekends always have me wondering. This motel has been operating for ages. Yet they don't do anything to repair the rooms or at least INVEST in the motel itself. The room I was in recently had what looked like MOLD on the wall (picture posted);I wonder how safe) sanitary it really is. Another room had a screw sticking out the wall at the height of a small child. These are REAL concerts that go unaddressed. Yet, you guys have Teslas and Mercedes Ect. Don't put other peoples wellbeing at risk over some luxurious lifestyle that you guys want to have.

3.0 / 10.0

The place is use for people to do drugs. Not a good place to stay.

I asked for a non smoke room, because my daughter has asthma. And the room has a very strong smell of smoke; and when we turn the heater on was even more strong.

Great shower. All windows were operable and had screens to let the air in. Love the breakfast place right out my front door. Room was clean and manager responsive

Didn't love the bed quality

Bad

The best part was leaving.

Only one of the rooms was presentable. The other was dysfunctional. No mirror above the sink. Impossible to shave or for a woman to put on makeup. The beds were so bad I had a sore back for days.

NEVER IN MY LIFE WILL I PASS BY YOU AGAIN, IWILL TELL EVERYONE NOT TO RENT FROM YOU!!!!

NOTHING!!! NOTHING!!!! NOTHING!!!! Everything was dirty and smelled bad, the toilet bowl was full of vomit, I asked for another room, it was hard to get it, the TV didn’t work, we had to stay overnight because we didn’t know the area and it was past midnight! I do not advise anyone to pay for such room, it is disgusting, we are still in democratic country and civilized, they should not be allowed to operate in such dirty condition.

Everything was dirty, the price is height to stay in such a disgusting place!!! SHAME ON YOU!!!! For watch you offer to people! Take advance for the pictures posted on thr booking, which are fake, don’t check if it’s clean, I found VOMIT IN THE BATHROOM NEXT TO THE TOILET BOWL, bad smell, miserable, everything at the level of an underdeveloped country, shame on you !!! You were raised in misery so it doesn’t mean you offer you misery to others!!!! I will poste on all social networks how dissatisfied I was, I don’t want money back, I WANT TO RENOVATE to provide comfort for thous who are in transit!!! You people are kidding, because you got an advantage in this country!!!!I know who you are!!!in the country where you are from , dirt is normal, but here it is not normal!!!

2.0 / 10.0

Very poor

Well check in was good, and well that's about it

There's so many things, one of the main things was the bed was so uncomfortable, I felt the springs. Got a room as non smoking and once I went in felt the after smell of cigarettes, the room looked run down and well not maintain good, as when repairs were needed , well they did a poor job on the repairs.
