Worst place i have ever seen! I have no idea how it is still listed on expedia. Checked in and immediately checked right back out. Blood on the sheets, filthy clothes everywhere room was not clean, dirt in the floor, roaches. Outside the room there was dirty clothes panties bra’s, trash, beer cans. Looks like homeless are living on the stairs and people actually living in the rooms. Requested a refund and have not heard anything yet. I would not recomment anyone to stay here it was god awful. Was only there 10 minutes..

Beware!!

Beware! When we got there there were hookers and drug dealers in the room across from us, in and out of the room. There were sketchy looking people in the some of the rooms, standing with the motel doors open looking at people arriving, like they were checking to see who they could rob. The room was filthy. Blood stains on the sheet on the bed. Only one sheet, no blanket. Blood stains on the carpet. Dirty windows. Burn holes in the carpet. The battery had been taken out of the smoke detector. Walls were dirty. No coffee maker. TV didnt work. Shower curtain rod pulled out of the wall. Something.some kind of slime, was on the chairs. This is the worst motel I have ever stayed at. Will not be back.
