Parking lot is full of potholes, internet is nonexistent, cable tv keeps cutting out and I never received any room service. The plumbing has some issues. The only positive thing would be the air conditioning.

Stay IF You Have To!

Stay here as a last resort. This is an older property desperately in need of repair. The property as a whole needs a makeover. The rooms are in need of repair. The a/c cooled but was not cold. The bathroom door was broken and would not shut. The water pressure was very low. The floors were not mopped. The lobby was very dark

I get it. Its a cheap place but it was just disgusting rooms should be like 40 bucks at that conditon.

The pictures leave you believing this is a hotel. And it's clearly a motel. Drugs deals happening on property. Pool was closed down. Does not say that on app. Front desk was rude. Unexpected deposit that it hidden at bottom of page. Front desk called manager and manager told me he would refund me. That I wasn't going to find anywhere any nicer. To get off his property.
