Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Property needs to be updated , concrete stairs are old and anti slip pads are loose and dangerous to step on especially when wet, Rooms smell, some of the appliances didnt work in the room , hair dryer short circuit and burned in my hands. Front lobby can not be accessed and locked at all times you can only speek to someone through a small glass window, an weired crew was filming in room 111 looked like a pornographic video was beening made! And the odor of burnt marijuana in our room was horrible! I called the Manager and he made it seem like i was the one smoking the crap!! We did not stay the remainder of days we reserved and found a different location to finish our vacation.

This property should NOT even be an Expedia option. Remove it. The pictures are all false. There is no safety. It's a damn sex traffic hotel. How has NO ONE investigated?! I've called authorities. Expedia should be embarrassed. I'm expecting my money back, or i will sue. We took pictures of everything. Take this place iff as an option. Now!!!

Disgusting

This place is absolutely disgusting. I’m so sad we had to stay here. There was no cold water, only hot. Burn holes in the bedding, bugs on the floor. And when we walked in the room, it looks like somebody had already been laying in the bed. It was so incredibly discussing. It doesn’t look anything like the pictures online I have never stayed in such a disgusting motel. I couldn’t wait to leave.
