Properly is very old and while kept together, it was obvious that it was done so with "paint and a promise". The ceiling tiles in the room appeared to be falling in and were bowed in. The ironing board was soaking wet from the leaking iron left on it. The bed was suspect, but fortunately, the mattress was inside of a plastic case. We literally slept on top of the covers. The front desk staff were friendly and responded well to a operational issue (TV remote control) and was the highlight of the stay. All in all, it barely met the 3-star rating it had before arrival. It DID meet the low-cost criteria set before making the reservation.

I should have taken pictures. A waste of money. It looks nothing like online pictures. It smells stale when you enter. The rooms look like a scene from a horror movie. The beds look old as if they've never been replaced. I didn't sleep there not one night. It's run down. I couldn't get my money back so I gave it to one of the people already staying there. It's really for locals that are homeless. I spent 3 hrs driving around looking for a hotel. Finally found an acceptable place on short notice.

Nasty lil moldy roach motel.

It was terrible the room smell of mold. The toilet was coming off the wall. There were bugs in the bathroom. Crack beads and meth heads all around. It was disgraceful. Not even worth the price. It was so dark a gloomy I. That room and the air conditioning leak moldy water out side the room door. O. And you can see outside through you door. It was a nightmare

I was given a double room although the facility was pretty empty. I’m traveling alone so the double room was no benefit to me with smaller beds. The photos of the rooms need to be updated as they are highly deceiving. The room was extremely hot and took hours to cool down, the sheets smelled and there were flies in the room.

Neither room we tried had plumbing options that were able to work with my wifes disability, but the front desk attendant was more than top notch with her assistance, even though we had to book with a different hotel. She is the reason the hotel gets two stars

Quiet, comfortable & clean

The staff was friendly. The room was clean & the bed was fairly comfortable. The place is a little run down, but you can tell they are trying to renovate it. It was a quiet weekend considering the motel is next to a busy expressway. The room felt a little damp for some reason.
