Don’t stay here.

The room was very dirty. There were stains on almost every surface. The sheets and towels were very old and used by many. There was a cockroach in our room. We slept with the lights on in hopes we wouldn’t see another cockroach. Stay somewhere else, we would have been more comfortable sleeping in the car.

Bedding was definitely stained, not clean! No coffee in the room, none available in the lobby. Even the cheapest hotels at least have coffee. It was bad enough having flooring in the room with something stuck to it, damaged bathroom door, dirty bedding... and then no coffee. It WAS a place to lay your head down cheap, but you definitely got what you paid for!

You get what you pay for. It was cheap, and the sheets and towels appeared to havr been washed, but had stains. The kind of thing a normal hotel would never use again. There was a huge hole in thr bathroom door with sprinters, so we couldn't fully close it or it wouldn't open again without putting our weight into it. Staff knocked on our door at 9, rven thiugh check out is 11. Tou rwally feel the discount.

Don’t recommend this place

Filthy motel, nothing like in the photos. Outdated, mold in the bathroom; tub, shower curtain. Room smells cigarette as well as the entire hallway. I would not stay here again or recommend to anyone, especially if you’re a solo traveler, don’t do it!
