Smell of marijuana overwhelmed the entire hotel. Rooms were very dirty. Not to welcoming at the front desk. Tub and sink were clogged and back up when you run the taps and finally there was hairs all over the beds.

Booked a 1-Bed room for 11 nights. Room card worked fine. Very simple room design; grey walls/floor, pitch-black furniture, 1 basic chair that reminded me of school chairs, brown shower-tub combo. Bedroom lighting a bit dim, but okay for the size. Room had a depressing prison vibe. The corridors too; battered, brown carpet floors, grey walls. The motel wasn't designed to make you feel happy. Huge bed, much space, very soft pillows, mattress just right, not too hard, nor soft. 3 USB slots in room; under TV and at the bed, a welcome surprise, could charge my phone, never needed my powerbank. Huge TV, 40 channels, watching was entirely free and unlimited, so was the Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi signed me out often, but worked well otherwise and was relatively fast. The big and comfy bed, the USB slots, the huge TV with its generous number of channels and the Wi-Fi saved the room. Room was mostly clean on arrival, only tiny bit of leftover dust on TV table and few, brown stains on white bed sheets. Sheets, blanket and pillows were fresh and washed, though. Had to give an overall "Poor" rating, still, cause of a few issues. Elevator didn't always work, brought me to the wrong floor (3) two times, mostly took stairs to avoid getting stuck. Room toilet leaked each flushing on first 3 days, had to wipe up, toilet tank was full of mold. Shower head didn't always work, water came from faucet instead, "showered" with a cup few times. "You get what you pay for." Only book if you can't afford better.

I stayed 10/18/25 to 10/20/25. I was given room 124 , had to request another room it smelled like cat urine. They moved me to 401. Bedside table had something on it, it hadn't been cleaned and the room smelled. Carpets in the hallway are old, stained and looked like they hadn’t been vacuumed. The elevator was dirty and had leaves in it. It stops on floor 3 every time even if you push to go to the lobby. Nobody was ever on 3 waiting for the elevator. 401 wasn't cleaned while I was there. We had left over food in the trash it never got picked up. We used our towels on 10/19 and at 7:30 pm on 10/19 we asked for clean towels but were told there were none they were drying. They got us hand towels and washcloths but never got towels to shower. Do not stay there the place is a dump.
