2/10 Terrible

Djon

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The pictures are extremely misleading. The worst hotel I ever stayed in. One of the blankets had a whole in it. There was a face towel left on the shower curtain rod. It smelled like smoke. The floors were peeling. The walls were damaged. I wouldn’t even invite someone to come see me and sit in the parking lot. I kept checking my vehicle to make sure it was damaged because of the other guests. It looks like a place you go to have shady dealings. Not judging but looked like it was full of crackheads and prostitutes

This hotel was one of the most terrible hotels I’ve ever stayed. There were too many people outside. It was very noisy. The rooms were dirty. There were cockroaches, big bugs. I was mortified. This type of hotels should be closed and not advertise here in Expedia. It gives them a bad name.

I had to to check out of my room 10-02-25 to go to the bank. Came back at check in time 1:30pm. They put me back in my same room that I checked out of. It was never cleaned and the sink was still leaking. Also when I paid at the property with cash they forgot to give me my change. So today they came to askif I was staying I told them I just was waiting for my friend to come bring my check. This was at 11:50 pm. Then at 1:00 they demanded I remove all of my things while they stood there and threatened to help me pull all of my things out. This is where I'm at now and have the money for my room but seriously debating to check back in.

10/10 would not recommend. Unless you want roaches for breakfast, lunch, supper, dinner and dessert. Straight up biohazard. Don’t know why this still exists or is even an option to book on this site. The place litteraly falls apart. No exaggeration. Roaches. Leak under the washtub, showerfaucet dripping, ceiling falling apart, walls falling apart, holes in the walls are not even repaired but just covered with clear tape. Roaches. Showering is a heck of a challenge because there is no constant water nor watertemperature, either scorching hot or ice cubes coming out. Roaches. Loud and drunk long stayers wich harras other guest by knocking on their doors and windows everytime they pass by or are looking for some smoke. Oh did I forgot roaches? Add some extra roaches. You’ll find a better, cleaner and more peaceful sleep in your car.
Supposedly a wall
Leaking, wet rotting floors
Door does not reach the sides nor the floor. So you hear everything, smell everything, also one of the ways the roaches come in

The price was very good and the bed linen was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, the room and facilities were quite worn and several things were broken (sink, fridge, bathtub running, cracked toilet, damaged floor). It worked for one night, but overall not a place we would choose again.

Do Not Waste Your $!! They won't refund it!!!

This property shouldn't be on Hotels.com It is a run down motel for locals who are long term staying and comfortable in that environment where most know each other. I wouldn't advise bringing kids and staying there if you are traveling unless you already know the area. I was needing a place to sleep for the night and looked past the people hanging around, the smell of marijuana, clothes drying on rails and fence. As long as I was safe and room was ok, I would have been fine. Basically looked past things to be accepting of the fact it was the cheapest place and during the day, two roaches aren't THAT bad. What were my options to leave, anyways? It gets dark and the line was crossed. I had turned lights off to get into bed. When I got up to use the bathroom I find the Army of roaches scattering off and exploring my few items around the room/bathroom. My towel on the floor to not slip after bath, the clothes I had taken off to take shower on bathroom counter, the shorts and tennis shoes I took off to get into bed, and I'm freaking out cause my toothbrush is on counter, my bags are kinda open and I'm shaking all the loose items, trying to not hit anything while packing up my bags because it awakes them! Me and my stuff were ambushed!!!! I am not scared of roaches but I don't want them crawling on me or near my food or getting into my belongings and making theirself permanent residents for my bags and I and wherever we were headed. Follow your gut instinct when you get there!
