DO NOT BOOK HERE!!!!!

I paid over $200 and this place is a run down former super 8 motel, not a hotel. The carpet was stained, the walls were patched and not painted/fixed. There is no staff but rather someone who appears to live there. No hair dryers. Ice machine and bucket were disgusting. This place is awful and should not even be listed on hotels.com. DO NOT GET A ROOM HERE!

Sketchy hotel, fire exit door won't open

I did not stay here because I did not feel safe when I tried to go out the fire exit door next to my room and it jammed. In addition, there were no rooms available that had windows looking out onto the parking lot-- I wanted to be able see my car. I requested a refund, but the manager refused. Hotels.com understood why I felt unsafe and gave me a credit for the value of what the motel charged me.
