*1/5 stars - Avoid this motel at all costs!* I recently had a disastrous experience at this motel after booking through Expedia. Upon arrival, I received a key card that didn't work, and the receptionist seemed skeptical when I reported the issue. After verifying the problem, he offered to move me to another room. However, the new room was a nightmare - it reeked of cigarette smoke, and the linens had burn holes. The receptionist claimed it was my assigned room, but I refused to stay there. When I asked for a non-smoking room with a king-sized bed, he demanded extra payment. The motel's policy, as explained by the receptionist, was that standard rooms are smoking rooms by default. The room's condition was unacceptable, with a worn-out bathroom and a terrible mattress. Needless to say, I won't be booking this motel again, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. If you value a clean and comfortable stay, look elsewhere.

Disgusting. Hair and live bugs on the towels. Drug deal observed in parking lot. Super sketchy area. We were warned by a local not to stay here. Wound up checking out an hour after checking in due to the unsafe area/disgusting conditions.

Do not stay here with kids. It felt unsafe. The lights in the bathroom didn't work and it felt like there were holes under the carpet when you walked. I would NOT recommend this place.
