Cockroaches Everywhere

Infested with cockroaches. If it wasn’t for that it would’ve been fine for a quick trip. Service offered to switch me to a different room, which was nice, but I decided to leave.

Would not stay here long term

I would not stay here for more than a day because the motel is roach infested not clean and the housekeeping there sucks but they're quick to walk into your room and then if they do come in and clean it's like they really did nothing

Would not recommend this dump to the dogs

The only thing that I can say good about this place is the price online if you go in person it's going to be a little pricey and room 205 and 209 have bad plumbing problems and they're both roach infested most of their rooms have roaches or some type of damage to the rooms and you're either going to get a room with out a coffee maker and a blow dryer or one or the other and the people at the front desk they're not very friendly they have snobby attitudes and it's like they get annoyed anytime you ask them a question and if you're lucky to get clean towels and clean bed sheets and also pillow casing that would be extremely rare because most of their towels look like they have blood stains on them they just don't look like something you would be comfortable using as well as their sheets

It was affordable and average. Wasn't expecting anything fancy, and didn't get anything fancy in return. Was a bit sad the continental breakfast has been discontinued permanently and this was not updated on Expedia. Room did smell pretty strongly of weed so if you have a weak nose be aware.

Room was dirty, I did not want to take my shoes off. The lobby was extremely hot and person at desk spoke limited English. There is no airport shuttle as advertised. The area was sketchy with working women out and about. Awkward full sized fridge in room. The Breakfast that was offered, was dry cereal and water.

Attendant asked for a fifty dollar cash deposit... not cc... he was upset when I asked for a receipt for the cash, so he hand wrote it on my receipt from expedia... the door to the room had a lock above the handle because the handle lock did not work. The room was not swept. There was gaps in the door. And the bathroom tile floor was cracked and broken walls needed to be painted quickly... breakfast was a box of cereal you had to ask for a bowl and milk and coffee was cold... honestly seemed like a pay by hour hotel.. I have never stayed in one like this ever... i would have never taken my children to a place like this.. ferrell cat herd roaming the area living under stairs.. non smoking room definitely smoked in... people fighting in parking lot. Felt nervous all night did not sleep...
