Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
When I arrived at this hotel, all my reservations had been canceled without my permission. When I asked if the room was available, I was told that the room was available and they charged me 3 times the amount I had booked. Of course, we didn't stop at the inn. We thought this was probably how this inn did business.

I stayed there for 2 nights and the gentleman treated me like a criminal. I didn't cause any damage.It was just me by myself.I cleaned up after myself and they didn't return my deposit.And now the owner is making me return to the inn in order to get my deposit back. The woman who works there is incredibly sweet, however. I was also supplied with 2 bars of hand soap and that is it.

I wish I could give negative stars! This was the filthiest place I’ve seen in my entire life. I have pictures but unfortunately cannot upload them here. I wiped the floors in all areas with a makeup wipe and they came out literally black. The smell of cigarettes takes your breath throughout the entire windowless room. The blanket on the bed smelled like it had been washed in a dirty ashtray. The ancient air conditioning unit sounded like a plane taking off. I didn’t sleep one minute. The only person who would find this place acceptable is someone who just got released from prison.

Toilet backed up at the second day. Continued to back up and ever so slowly drain making "Glub, glub" noises. Was left a plunger, but it was ineffective. The black top in the packing lot was in bad condition. Positive note: was allowed to park the rented trailer close to our unit. Was 15 minutes away from our event. Fast food places are short drive away and a El Super market.

Not great

Very sketchy part of town. The motel is very old and only has 1 lock on the door. Floor was dirty and the place looks pretty bad. At least the bed was clean. I probably wouldn't stay here again.

Not a pleasant stay

Old motel. Uses a key (not card) and the deadbolt wouldn't work. The parking lot is a mess, the linens were very old and the towels had no threads. The sheets and blankets on the bed were not white anymore and blankets were worn. There are much better options.
